I Left Home at 15 Walking Into 35 Years of Addiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798198642898)

After decades of chaos-addiction, violence, heartbreak, and homelessness-I finally found the courage to reclaim my life. This memoir is a raw, honest account of survival and transformation. My journey takes you through the darkest corners of addiction, the pain of generational trauma, and the struggle of watching my children face their own battles. Through it all, I never stopped searching for hope-even when it felt impossible to find.

With the support of my children, the healing power of music, and the community I found in recovery, I discovered that it's never too late to start over. Along the way, I learned to set boundaries, protect my peace, and embrace the imperfect, beautiful mess of healing. My story is proof that redemption is possible for anyone, no matter how lost they may feel.

If you're facing your own struggles or love someone who is, I hope these pages offer comfort, understanding, and the reminder that no one is ever truly alone. There is always a way forward.
