Produktbeschreibung
Conversations with myself is written by R. W. Young. It details his struggles with chemical dependency, his attempts at trying to get clean with the help of treatment centers, outpatient programs and halfway houses, and how he was finally able to break free from addiction and reclaim his life. This book talks about: The users' mindset The physical and psychological dangers inherent in substance abuse Relationships with other family members Relapse... how it happens, and how to avoid it How to rebuild oneself by making better choices Staying clean, one day at a time Conversations with myself is a must read for those now struggling with addiction, for their families who suffer with them, and for anyone who deals with repeated relapses. It offers a personal blueprint from drug dependency to freedom and sobriety. Each time that I entered into a treatment program through the years, a part of the process included lots of soul searching and confronting myself. I would then write about what I was thinking or feeling in that moment, in poetic form. Each poem is memorable and poignant to me, as it represents a particular place in time, and a particular set of circumstances at that time. I have included a selection of these poems in the second half of this book.
Autorenporträt
R. W. Young knows firsthand the pain and suffering caused by chemical abuse. At first, he set out to publish several poems that he wrote while attending several treatment centers over the years. However, the alarming drug abuse (and deaths) that occurred during the pandemic, convinced him to write about his experience, in the hope that this will help another who is also looking for a way out of drug and alcohol slavery.Mr. Young is recently retired from the hospitality industry, and currently resides in his adopted city, Philadelphia, PA. He enjoys writing, frequent exercise and caring for Dakota, his canine friend.
