Publisher's Synopsis
I decided to write this book on my personal experiences with addiction and to share with others, how addiction destroyed a good portion of my life at the age of twenty-five up until my late forties. I grew up in a household of addiction and mental illness and never imagined, the very thing I hated, I would become myself one day. I did not know about addiction or the damage addiction can due to the human brain. I chose to write about and share my experiences with others, in the hopes of bringing some form of healing to me, and to share my story. I remember a friend sharing some words with me, and believe to this day, the power in those words. "If God has brought you through a storm, you must share your story with others". I feel writing is a form of therapy for me and by sharing my story, I can bring some type of hope to another.
