Love, Addiction, and Everything Between the Lines

By Phillip James

This book is the honest preception of ones emotion. In the face of failed dreams and minor success, goals achived and the lesson learned from those that where just out of reach. Every conversation I had alone with myself I put in poetic form in hopes to relate to those with shared life experiences. With the backdrop of addiction this book aims to give you hope, sturggle, love and mental prosperity.
