Description
This is my life story, inspired by my grandchildrens need to have the complete story for themselves and future generations. It is a story of growing up in a small coal-mining town into young adulthood, where alcohol started to become a part of my life, then of my journeys around the world and throughout Australia. A story of relationships and children being caught up in the exciting highs and devastating lows brought on by the effects of alcohol and drug addiction to finally emerging into an insanity that, through suicidal thoughts, led to an enlightenment few get to experience. It is a story where one can see in hindsight that this journey has always had the support of a power greater than myself.
