I Thought This Was Normal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781300528470)

The names have been changed to protect the innocent, but who is innocent? Are we victims or volunteers? This (mostly) true story, deals with abuse, addiction, self-discovery and love, it is different from the generic story of recovery. It doesn't deal with "triumphalism," but instead tells the story of how a successful man goes from the delusion of despair to the rock of reality. Ron, the author, describes how he had to lose everything to gain himself. He is incredibly candid and brave. This is an easy read. You will not only laugh and cry, but you will understand the process of how a person deals with the pain of the past to achieve a future. This is a powerful and moving tribute to forgiveness, and ultimately the true meaning of love. It takes a lot of strength and courage to break away from misery and to admit truth. The recovery, the true triumph, and the ultimate truth of his story is this: Ron tells how he learned that while pain may be inevitable, misery is chosen.
