Addiction Recovery Series

I allowed the world to determine my worth, relying on substances to help me feel alive. Addictions such as: Bulimia nervosa; alcohol; drugs; nicotine; sugar and caffeine, which almost cost me my life. I was frantically trying to find purpose in all the wrong places. My burning desire to find myself and my soul-purpose on earth, became my life-long quest. I yearned for something greater that would fill the void, which I felt deep within my soul. Still, I knew that there was a much deeper meaning and purpose to my life, than what I had known it to be. I longed to find that special, "something" which would finally make me feel content and whole.   Emotional/Mental Health has often had negative connotations to it, which I believe may have hindered many sufferers' former desires for recovery. Emotional wellbeing should be just as important in maintaining, as for instance, one's physical health. My vision is to give a voice to the importance which Emotional Health has in our lives. There is no need to feel ashamed and there is no need to suffer in silence. Hopefully by sharing my experiences, it will further assist others and hopefully prevent others from following suit. I believe that this is my life purpose which God has created me for, and I now obediently follow Him every day of my life.   I believe that I have travelled my journey, not only for my own life lessons, but to be able to assist others in their quests, as well. I believe that God has preserved me because of what is within me. He has preserved me for a greater purpose and I wholeheartedly believe that my purpose is to reach out and help each one of YOU!   I pray that I can be a positive, life changing force for others, inspiring them to live their lives to their absolute fullest, by being the very best versions of themselves. Ensuring that we are able to live the life we were destined to live. Being free from living lives governed by consuming addictions which ultimately result in self-destruction, prison, institutions and ultimately death. For it is then, when my life's journey will be given meaning, knowing that I have survived and been able to share in my life lessons, by being able to assist YOU with yours.   Depression is the number 1 disability in the world today.  And yet, 75% of sufferers are untreated. 23 people in South Africa alone, commit suicide every day.

Sometimes it takes more strength to let go, than to hold on.   I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been the victim of a self-destructive addiction or relationship of any sort. Regardless of what the drug of choice was. As this book will help you to make the necessary changes in your lives.

Namely: Bulimia Nervosa; (13 years) Cigarette Smoking; (21 years) drinking of Alcohol (20 years) and the taking of Prescribed & Non-Prescriptive Medication (10 years). This book primary focuses on the "letting go" of the necessary elements in our lives, whilst offering means of support to help us reach the other side.   As a recovering bulimia nervosa sufferer, low self-esteem and poor self-image have been ongoing challenges for me. Challenges I share with many fellow recovering addicts, regardless of what the drug was. Still, these challenges have proven to be motivating factors in my life, encouraging me to further discover and get to know myself again. Affording me opportunities to  lovingly accept the "new me!" as well as being able to believe in myself again. They have enabled me to create a life worth living and one which is full of hope, laughter and great enjoyment.   I know that there is a constant and very often daily challenge to stay on the "right road," whilst allowing our authentic selves to emerge and truly shine!
