The goal of this book is to open your mind to a path that can help make your life everything you want. I wanted to share my passion with other folks who need more tools in their toolbox to help them fight addiction, depression, anger issues etc.

Chapter 1:How to get miles ahead of Alcoholism
I wrote this not just for the cheesy phrases about recovery, trust me. I wrote this from my heart because of all the pain and suffering a lifestyle of selfishness has led me to. I want the people who think about the chaos and pain in their life and actually find a path to start moving ahead. What almost killed me was I had no direction. By opening your heart and mind and reading this your already on the right path. My experience and strength helped me and I am only sharing what worked for me in case in might help someone else. All proceeds from this book are going to be used to build a sober farm housing project in the near future in Oregon and possibly Florida. Thank you enjoy and keep running towards your goals.

The 12 steps help individuals to work through the underlying causes of addiction and develop a new, healthier way
