Where’S the Mongoose??: An Addictive Mind's Journey

By Gary Van Slyke

My name is Gary, Im 62 years old, and Im an addict. I have been clean and sober since October 11th of the year 2011.
A few weeks into my rehab stay I awoke to see the moon shining through the triangular windows of my bedroom. At that moment my inspirational journey started. I wrote continuously for three months and as a result I compiled these works.
I would like to share these with all who are afflicted by this horrible disease and with the families of those who have adventured wrongly. Those of you who read this will have shared most if not all of my feelings and the loss of family, possessions and most of all trust. All to be regained with faith, hope and perserverance.
----- And I now leave it up to you to figure out where the Mongoose went!!
