Overview

This book was written for and is dedicated to the people who struggle with trauma, mental illness, and substance abuse. Like so many others who learned to cope with their traumas through alcohol, drugs, and sex, or doing whatever else it took to forget and fit in; Steve was no different. At twenty-one he began a career in the New York State department of corrections. After 19 years as an officer he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD. As a result he was released by the state on retirement disability. Included are the details of his experiences from those years in addition to being admitted to substance abuse rehabs, and mental health facilities. In the end he managed to recover from it all. He mostly credits AA, and talk therapy with his recovery and many caring people along the way. Sometimes humorous, other times ironic, and at times tragic, he hopes you will use his story as an inspiration, and to recognize the resilience that lies within all of us.
