Anthony Marakovitz nails down what his life was like as an extreme addict for forty years--following his happy childhood, some bad boy middle and high school years, indiscriminate relationships, and normally fatal health complications with enough drugs and alcohol to have killed anyone. Now that he has recovered, Anthony shares facts that most people don't know about addicts, compulsive behavior, and productive, faith-based recovery. Believing that each one of us is within reach of an addict, Anthony launches his story with serious hope for anyone who is dealing with addiction of any kind--anger, drugs (prescription or otherwise), alcohol, sex, control, simply more of anything--the list is long. These addictions permeate every socioeconomic level and impact everyone and everything around them. The author hopes that his story will encourage and benefit anyone who wholeheartedly seeks long-term recovery--no turning back!
