Since 2012, Jim Sonefeld has inspired audiences across recovery groups, chambers of commerce, and churches with his powerful, heartfelt story. In 2022–23, after stepping into bookstores to reach general audiences, he discovered a fresh way to connect—by framing his journey through the lens of the Hero’s Journey. (Not that he considers himself the hero!)
One of the most meaningful creative undertakings of my adult life was writing the manuscript that became my 2022 memoir, Swimming With the Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride. It took me years to believe I had a story worth sharing—and even more time to shape that story into something clear, honest, and readable after I began writing in the fall of 2017.
