"We all love to read a good story full of gory details about someone famous who overcame all odds. Well, I am not famous, just an ordinary person like you, but I have an amazing story to share. It is a true story of triumph over a very common and deadly problem in our society, one you may be experiencing yourself. Not once was I ever called an addict or did I ever refer to myself as one. But long before I was ever addicted to alcohol, gambling, promiscuity, non-stop entertainment and excitement, I desperately craved attention and acceptance from my father. When I could not get that, I looked elsewhere to fill the need like an addict looks for another fix." -- P. [4] of cover.
