It's about life, relationships with parents, siblings, children, and friends. It's about addictions, it's about you, and most importantly, it's about change. I will be surprised if you can't find yourself somewhere in this book. I promise you at the end of the book, life will seem easier. It's about taking back control of your life, not letting drugs, alcohol, or people have control of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am not a celebrity. I am a regular person who became addicted to drugs because I didn't have the courage or the knowledge to take charge of my life and to be positive. A large well-known medical center in the southeast took me on as a case history. I learned so much from Dr. D and Dr. Arielle Kogan and the other medical staff and want to share it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the book, I tell what it feels like to be addicted to opioids. I talk about going through withdrawal and counseling and what happens in group therapy, and I share private counseling as well. I have changed the names of the patients, family members, and friends as not to cause embarrassment. I am not using my real name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wrote the initial draft of this book forty-three years ago when everything was fresh in my mind. I put the book on the shelf, and there it lay for forty-three years, collecting dust as there was no ending, and the time was not right. Now with the opioid crisis, the time is right, and the book now has a happy and surprising ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronica Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948928965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948928960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ewings Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Veronica Knight","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990588326143,"sku":"9781948928960","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f27a3066-b86d-4391-a18c-89cf372a62b0.jpg?v=1683305532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-bridge-to-the-mainland-veronica-knight-9781948928960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
