The Book

Introduction

My sincere hope is to assist those who are deep in troubles, be they addictive in tendency, unfortunately circumstantial, or self-inflicted.

These personal testaments are written from states of turmoil and moments of golden clarity.

I am a simple poet on the other side of devastation, still slowly growing, and these poems I’ve long been waiting to place in the currents of the world.

Introduction

There is hope on the other side through much surrender and work, painstaking endurance, and patiently walking out of dark tunnels.

I’m thankful to still be here and pray that this book of poems serves as a strange chronicle of before, during, and after addiction.

I encourage anyone who is suffering from addiction, depression, or any personal dilemma to reach out for help.
