Redemption ! My battles with Alcohol for 30 years, and the Redemption I have in over 5 years of Sobriety is the Catalyst for this first collection of Poetic muses, Philosophy, and Rhyme. To be lost as a child is one thing, But to be lost as an adult is something of an Atrocity. The debilitating Disease I was released from is nothing short of a Miracle by God, and I keep my sobriety One day at a Time.. I dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen and moved into a 200 sq ft efficiency. Paying 150 dollars a month collectively with my older brother. Thinking this is what life is all about I enjoyed the freedom from the wraith of my Dad, and his abusive temper and slave like ways of working me to the bone for free. Alcohol was a outlet for my anxiety and fears for the lack of personality I did not have. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would become the Alcoholic drunkard that I evolved into. What started out as night time fun and weekend partying would take me down a path of darkness and spiritual sickness I never thought existed. May this book give a glimpse of my redemption that the readers will be able to see and understand.
