Full Turn: A Memoir of Addiction, Fatherhood, and the Second Life I Never Earned


Overview

Full Turn is a raw, unguarded memoir about addiction, fatherhood, and the slow, uncomfortable work of becoming someone worthy of the life you're given. Dave Malam Mia didn't fall all at once. His descent was quiet, functional, and easy to justify-marked by ambition, provision, and success on the outside, and denial, ego, and self-destruction underneath. Alcohol came first. Then drugs. Then the kind of damage that doesn't always show up in handcuffs or headlines-but fractures marriages, erodes trust, and leaves children with a parent who is present in body and absent everywhere else. By the time consequences became impossible to outrun, Dave was exhausted-financially strained, emotionally hollow, and running out of explanations. What followed wasn't a miracle or a clean redemption arc, but a reckoning. A decision to stop lying. To accept accountability without loopholes. To rebuild a life piece by piece, without pretending the past didn't happen. Full Turn is not a recovery manual and not a polished success story. It is an honest examination of addiction as relief before it becomes a prison, of fatherhood learned too late but taken seriously, and of redemption as a daily choice rather than a moment of arrival. Through lived experience, uncomfortable truths, and hard-earned clarity, Dave explores what it really means to change-not just behaviors, but character. This book is for anyone who has lived in denial, hurt the people they love while insisting they meant well, or believed providing was the same as showing up. It's for those rebuilding quietly, choosing integrity when no one is watching, and learning to live with awareness instead of fear. Full Turn doesn't promise transformation without cost. It tells the truth about what it takes-and what it's worth.
