I had never thought I would become the person I did. Alcohol and drugs had been the highlight of my life. I would do pretty much anything for them, including lying, stealing, and robbing others to feed my own addictions.

Biography
About the Authors and Bio for book.
Raised in Clarkson, Mississauga, Ontario and when I was 15 years old my parents bought a house in Flesherton, Ontario were the population was only 300. I ended up running away as I couldn’t handle the small community they choose to live in; upon running away, I lived on the streets in many cities for almost seven years; drinking and drugging to adjust to the way of living and I felt lost in my own skin.
One day I had enough and called the Withdrawal Management Center (detox) in Brampton, Ontario to see if I could get help; while in detox I was accepted to a treatment center and spent three and a half months there learning how to live in the community. I really enjoyed the learning process that I returned back to school to get my Grade 12 diploma. I now have a diploma in Drug and Alcohol counselling, one as a Social Service worker, and I am currently attending Lakehead University in working towards my Bachelor of Social Work degree.
I am just over 6 years clean and sober and have many successes and awards through school and the community, for example, Lieutenant Governor’s Community Volunteer Awards for Students, I been nominated for the "Order of Orillia Award”, and I was the first student at Georgian College & Lakehead University’s history to ever established a financial award in my own name while still in studies.
Today my goal is to give back to the community and help someone that can’t help themselves. This is why I wrote this book, hoping to reach out to those that need it. I feel sharing my struggles and hopes can help another person from going down the wrong road as I have.
Included are 12 testimonials from people who know me and tell it as it was; from a sergeant of the Halton Regional Police station, a jail guard, my former probation officer, counsellors, both parents, son, and a few ex-girlfriends etc...
My book is presently in over 25,000 different stores through the online (P.O.D) distribution centers, e.g Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc… TOP 100 Best-Sellers in Canada, consistently since October 2011 in recovery and substance abuse categories.
Also available for motivational speaking.
