About this audiobook
This book sprouted from a seed that was planted when I was in High School back in the early 90s. My friends mom Geralyn, one of the few adults who helped me feel accepted, commented how at the young age of 15 years old I had lived several lives. It was my practice of being a social chameleon, always finding a way to fit in, that she was pointing to. Over the next 30 years this “you should write a book” idea was nurtured by a whole bunch of special people.
Then about 2 years ago, my buddy Lee Crump sparked the seed into breaking through the crust. I shared my experience with the legal system and addiction with him, which in the moment seemed to shock him. It wasn’t an offensive shock, it was more a flattering shock. The kind that says “wow, if anyone else said this about you I wouldn’t believe them.”
After some time Lee pulled my aside and told me how impactful my story was on him. He told me how my past and my present gave him hope for a loved one. He told me that my story helped him a “non-addict” and that my story could help both the family of addicts and addicts alike. He told me I should write a book.
Now the seed that Geralyn planted, the “you should write a book” seed was more than a notch on the post. It was a way to convert my shortcomings into something meaningful. It is a way for me to serve others by sharing my experience strength and hope. It is a way for me to stay on the path of Becoming the Promise I am intended to be.
