His Addiction, My Recovery is a powerful, unfiltered journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. This collection of raw, emotionally charged poetry captures the silent battles fought in the shadows of addiction, grieving the life you imagined, untangling codependency, and reclaiming your sense of self.

Editorial Reviews

I love this book because it shows the raw feelings and consequences addiction has on everyone around an addict. I shared a picture of one of my favorite poems in this book where the wife thinks if I love him enough, pray enough, encourage him enough he will be cured but then she realizes she is not the cure. This book is so honest, heartfelt and real!

Amazon Review - Gail Contreras

Just absolutely heartbreaking, and healing at the same time. Definitely a great book to have on hand for empowering. A true reminder that the times in life that you are sure will break you , can actually define you as an undefeated Warrior. 100 percent recommend.

Reader - David G

A must read to gain a better understanding of those living the life of addiction. This book describes addiction from the spouse's perspective. It's heartbreaking! I physically felt her pain. This disease affects everyone around it. Hear the spouses perspective, it's mind blowing, opened my eyes to things I never even thought about. It changed me as a friend to be more empathetic. Addiction is not black and white, it has many hues.
