Synopsis

When I started to write down what I've experienced over the years it made me realise there could be so much I could do to help other people. I believe for a lot of people fear is the worst, I also believe by me writing this book it has helped me deal with my fears along the way. I think anyone can give thier views and oponions that's why I've written FROM THAT TO THIS as I would like people to know how I dealt with my recovery and what lengths I've gone to so I could get where I am today. I was proberly an alcoholic by the time I was sixteen and been battling it ever since. The only way I could get my voice heard was by me writing down my experiences through substance misuse and I want people to know from me what it could do to them. What I've written is in my own words, there are mistakes in this book as I've had no help with this whatsoever. Thats what makes FROM THAT TO THIS so special. It has certainly improved my literacy, as you will read in my forthcoming book the spelling will better and believe me, if you find this book interesting then the next one is even more interesting and longer. FROM THAT TO THIS is only a little taster of what's to come. I found all drug users drink alcohol, yet alcoholics didn't take drugs, not at fi rst anyway. Old behaviour could of got me into alot of trouble had I not had self-control.

About this title

About the Author

I was an alcoholic at 16, up until 2011 i was battling alcohol for more than 25years. I have no family apart from my daughter, stepdad and stepbrothers which now i have excepted. The only way i could get voiced heard was by writing about my life and what substance misuse can do to you. I've been successfull so far and i do believe i can be even more successfull without any support whatsoever. If you can change as a person and to deal with your old behaviour then you be successfull in what ever it is your going to do. You have to grab every oppertunity you get like myself, i've escaped 4 deaths so i'm not going to waste anytime in helping myself to help other people like myself. It makes me feel very proud to be writing how i managed to get From that to this, however i'm not proud of some the contents within this story. When i read back through the book i had to stop and think wheather i should continue with this story as i was finding it quite disturbing, yet i carried on and that was the best dicision i've ever made in my life. When you truely believe in something then you should keep believing, i found if you start getting negative then most other things will become negative and thats where it all starts to go wrong. It's true, positive thinking is the one to have to get you away from somewhere where you don't want to be. looking back, the reason why i kept drinking excessively was because i couldn't face what was coming to me, i also started to think that i would never be able to get away from alcohol as it was to late for me, it nearly was.
