Having woke up in hell before experiencing the highs of sex, drugs and alcohol that become seductive in their masochistic ways, the most challenging part of life now is hope. Battling mental illness, addressing addiction in each insidious form, and surrendering to the reality that the violence committed could no longer be blamed on intoxication in order to salvage spirituality and soul. Accountability, gritty recovery that fights mainstream approaches, fighting and crawling back up from rock bottom to find a way that works. Personally. Not according to the faith of another but through a spiritual experience that cannot be forced. All while dealing with a codependent relationship that misconstrues love with fear, obligation and remorse to right the wrongs of misdirected anger. While facing demons, alternate chapters reveal levels of misery suggesting how those demons matured. Feelings without blame, without judgment or prejudice, the reader is invited to witness and conclude subjectively what is seen as rock bottom is found, only to dig deeper still. Medical school has given way to whatever pain is no longer important, a lifestyle of debauchery which logically makes no sense yet continues to escalate in risk and severity. When falling becomes normal, when each effort ends in failure, when death is the only cognitive conclusion to a life devoid of meaning and God, just get up one more time. Read how complicated recovery is, understand why children, spouses, friends and family return to all that is known which destroys lives. Relate to how one addict got up one more time. Witness hope.
