Never give up on yourself. Recovery is possible

Authentic and at at times brutal. There is hope out there. Can be quite graphic but so is life and truth.

Exceptional raw truth beautifully read and written

I hesitate to compare this wonderful work with one so false and controversial, but this is what a million little pieces should have been. This story by Bruce is real and honest and captivating. Can’t wait to listen to it again and it is made all the more special to have the author tell you his story himself.
