As an unvetted Author, I am shattering the norm in writing with this fierce pocketbook based on a long life fueled by alcohol and drugs due to the unresolved verbal and physical abuse I endured from my father. I am incredibly raw with my experiences while using dark and self-deprecating humor to soften the blow while still driving the point across on the damaging consequences I have faced. Most importantly, I have included the tools I used to overcome these addictions and internal scars. I hope they will be helpful to those seeking ways to heal who have experienced the same or similar upbringings and tragic life events.
