About the Author

Scott M. Splendido currently resides in Dutchess County, New York. The A.A program in this locale has become an integrally woven part of his life for approximately four years. Outside of having a difficult start, acquiring success in this personal pursuit has materialized, essentially, throughout the advent of entering the program.

As an accomplished individual in recovery, a legitimate group member, and a sponsor, the commitment upheld for this effort has allowed for the appropriate absorption of the programs material and process in which it entails. Splendido, wishing to now fulfill an aspiration impeded upon by addiction, provides with utter sincerity and gratitude, now in sobriety, that this personal undertaking be given an opportunity to come to fruition. Having spent a higher educational learning career as an English/Writing major at Mercy College, New York, maintaining a flawless GPA throughout and with the ultimate goal of becoming a writer, it has been with absolute regret that this endeavor was never achieved due to enslavement to addiction. Thus, self-discontentment, sorrow, and disappointment have prompted the desire to now make a conceivable attempt at satisfying this once possessed pursuit.
