Read the excerpt below
The Book
Miles. Mountains.
Desert. Truth.
A memoir of a journey, from bottom to rebuild. A journal of miles and mistakes, desert and wilderness, discipline and truth. A deep and honest accounting of what recovery asks of you, once the substance is gone. No tidy ending, because recovery never ends…
An excerpt from the book
Pain & Peace
I've dealt with a lot of different kinds of pain over 52 years.
- The pain of being a confused kid after a trauma I didn't understand.
- The pain of living in fear that someone would find out the truth.
- The pain of feeling somehow incapable of believing I was loved, even when people loved me.
- The pain of addiction.
- The pain of divorce.
- The pain of watching my children's faces when I told them I had cheated.
- The pain of losing relationships with my kids.
- The pain of not walking my daughter down the aisle.
- The pain of birthdays, graduations, holidays, and milestones that didn't happen the way I thought they would.
- The pain of looking back and knowing that some of the worst moments of my life were caused by my own decisions.
- The pain of realizing that some of the people I truly believed I'd spend the rest of my life with… I won't.
