Synopsis

This book is an auto biographical poetic account of my experiences of a lost childhood and a life lost, and how it was, going through recovery. These are my views of my life long issues and what I felt and experienced whilst changing my life, and how sometimes when you clean up all your hidden memories come flooding back. I had a lot to deal with, and had to overcome them by Learning different ways and behaviours to understand my past and move on, and to find a different way of living.
My poetry came in recovery as a way of dealing with my issues and expressing how it feels from the inside. It helped me to cope with the necessary changes I had to go through in order to gain and keep my sobriety. I have learned is to, share what I’ve been through, But from within were no-one can reach you unless you know the thoughts and feelings from your own experiences, I live life with my addict and all the other issues that came as consequences to the life I survived.
I am not looking for pity and self adulation, I am trying to help myself keep that of which was given to me in recovery, by giving it away with compassion and empathy to those out there still in the grip of their issues, illnesses and addictions. By sharing how it feels and to know that there is a way through, there is a way of changing your life for me and you together.
thank you for your time.
