About this audiobook

When I was growing up, I never dreamed I'd spend thirty years in addiction recovery, but does anyone? Do any of us who are fighting this battle of a lifetime ever imagine this will be us? As we grow up, we make poor choices that lead us in dangerous directions, which lead to more bad choices. The moment we realize we're lost, we had no idea where we should go. My book, Battle Of a Lifetime, illustrates the realities of recovery. I share my recovery story with many others who have been in recovery for a year or more. My next step is to teach you how to develop your own recovery plan, because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. Each of us must find his or her own path. Are you up for the challenge? Is it as important to you as air? Discover the truth one day at a time, one page at a time, and win this Battle Of A Lifetime!
