Bound by addictions to both drugs and alcohol, an addict for 40 years, tells step by step how he became an addict, and how he has been clean and sober for 25 years, and how you or someone you love can have the same victory!
For the first time publicly, this former longtime newspaper reporter, editor and Director of Communications for Tropicana Products, Inc., the world's largest producer of chilled citrus juices and related products, tells how he dropped from owning a home on the water on Longboat Key, Florida, into a $100 rotten travel trailer with his wife, Mary, for five years.
He relates the horrors he bestowed upon himself, his wife and family and how one morning within a few hours within that small trailer, his life was changed forever!
Today at the age of 77, he goes to work every day and visits the local jail twice a week to counsel one on one with inmates in an effort to help them turn their lives around and never face having to go back to jail again.
The author believes that the same secrets he learned that eliminated his addictions, can also change the lifestyles of those caught up in a life of crime and if they apply these secrets, they can finally live a productive life in society and never be a so-called repeat offender again.
Amazingly, his wife of 54 years is still by his side and she and his children have all forgiven him!
During the transformation period of his life, the author witnessed and tells of a number of what he calls “Miracles” that re-positioned him and his family back into Society and set up a future for him and his loved ones.
He has dedicated the rest of his life to helping and encouraging others who are suffering not only from addictions, but from any other pitfalls and traps that life can dish out to destroy lives.
