Are you watching the self-destruction of a loved one struggling with substance abuse, or are you the one addicted? Perhaps you are an observer standing outside the arena watching the chaos and asking yourself, "Why don't they just quit?" If you find yourself in one of these situations, this book is written with you in mind. By sharing our family's story of tragedy and triumph, we have an opportunity to encourage those whose life's pathways have taken them to some of the same dark places our family has been. If ever a story of miraculous recovery--from the agonizing valley of alcoholism and addiction to the mountaintop of recovery and service--should be told, it is the story of Gene Duffy, my dad. His journey took him from the gutters of Chicago's skid row, including a trip to the morgue to be prepped for burial, to the peace and serenity of California's beautiful Napa Valley, where he pioneered an amazing work and became one of the most prominent voices for recovery in his day. It is my hope and desire that this book, with my dad's life story serving as a platform for carrying the message of hope, and my sharing some lessons I learned along the way, may inspire someone who may be spiraling downward in cycles of misery and destruction to seek help. It may also encourage someone whose life has become difficult as they are being sorely impacted by another's deadly addiction. Let me assure you, there is hope! Although no one can go back and change their beginning, anybody can begin to change their ending! One does not have to live out the rest of their life captive to the misery and horrors of a difficult past; rather, they can begin today to embrace a happy and fruitful future.

Tragedy to Triumph will take the reader into a world of suffering of innocent children in the name of religion while the children were held captive for over twenty two years while a self proclaimed preacher evaded the law. In this story four adults were directly responsible for the atrocities that occurred against the children. What was seemingly a normal family to the outside world was anything but normal. Inside the home innocence was lost and hearts were broken while the children continued to suffer in silence. This book is written in hopes of saving lives and bring to the forefront the insidious disease that permeated our family leaving chaos in its wake. This book is also about a love that existed between a brother and sister as they lived in two separate worlds living by “Faith”, believing they were to see one another again.

First published in 1989 when the plight of children of alcoholics was initially brought to public attention, Working with Children of Alcoholics remains an essential tool for professionals that specifically addresses the needs of children growing up in alcoholic families. Expanding from the original highly successful handbook, the Second Edition incorporates the latest research, including Rubin's pivotal work on transcendent children, Robinson and Rhoden place alcoholism in a larger North American cultural context. They examine the effects of alcoholism in four essential family tasks: creating an identity, setting boundaries, providing for physical needs, and managing the family's emotional climate. Further,

A poignant true addiction story covering all the facets of tragedy and ultimately triumph over the insidious family disease of alcoholism and addiction. Follow Jared Bryan Smith's journey to insanity and beyond as he jumps off of a bridge and lands in the looney bin and ultimately Alcoholics Anonymous. The 17 years of drug abuse abates, the fog webs clear and he learns he is Hepatitis C positive, his liver is failing and he has no health insurance for the 3 thousand dollars a month Interferon treatments required to save his life. A miraculous story of a tormented soul released from a literal hell. An exciting read that will leave you breathless, and inspire you with perseverance, and faith as Jared Bryan Smith details the path to hell and back, in all it's gory intricacy as he tries his best to explain the unexplained thought process of a man driven mad by the drink. Chronicling his descent into madness, the author takes you back through his life, born into an alcoholic family, witness to his fathers steady downward spiral, ending with a .357 to his head at the age of 37 when the author was 11 years old, and his inability to stop the cycle. By his teens he is in and out of Juvenile detention, standing before Judge Hatchett of Atlanta on more than one occasion, running after the Grateful Dead, selling LSD, cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and opiates by the time he was a late teenager, this story will not cease to keep your interest as you cringe, cry, and laugh at his obsessions, tragedies, miracles and in the end his recovery. The rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous are welcoming in his late 20's as he struggles to finally stop for good, and return to sanity, and Jared Bryan Smith does a good job of explaining the 12 Steps of AA to the layman, the uninterested, the skeptic, the critic, or even the full blown atheist or non believer. Where two or more people gather to accomplish a stated goal, there stands a better chance than one alone, and by using only this mantra in his head, he is able to have hope, and work the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, cease fighting or debating, and ultimately recover, and have the obsession to drink and drug completely removed from someone who drank and drugged daily for close to 20 years. Discovering Hepatitis C, he documents his trials and tribulations through the painful Interferon process with great detail, and anyone suffering through Hep C, or who knows someone who is or will be taking Interferon could greatly benefit by reading or suggesting this book, which is why the author also made it available completely for free via google search.

The book is a true story about a lack of justice in America. It was incomprehensible to Carol how evilness was born and how it continued to flourish. She couldn’t acclimate herself to such a harsh, corrupt environment and fight corruption with corruption, so she gained the endurance to fight injustice with the truth, for the truth was her salvation to freedom in an insane world.

'There is a voice that whispers to me on the pillow. I have no idea if it is part of the dream, a hallucination, or reality. It talks of children, bringing news of a girl called Grace who loves me very much and a new baby boy called Freddie, who apparently needs me to get better... It stirs a part of me, even in my coma, reminding me that I'm thirty-eight and in love with the most beautiful woman in the world. It tells me that one third of me is gone but what's left is enough; that the thing is, above all, to survive.' When Tom Ray put his young daughter to bed one chilly December evening, he had everything he could ever want - the house of his dreams, a beautiful wife and a second baby on the way. By the next morning all of this was in jeopardy as Tom succumbed to the devastating illness that is sepsis. Starfish tells Tom and Nic Ray's truly inspirational story of their life before, during and after the illness which claimed Tom's lower arms, legs, and a portion of his face. Heart-breakingly honest and affecting, their story charts the devastating effects of Tom's illness, Nic's heroic struggle to cope and, ultimately, the love and hope that has held their family together in the ensuing years. A tragic yet beautiful tale of a couple whose love is tested to its limit after their perfect life falls apart in a single moment.

"Bridgid's presentation as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor is profound, miraculous and engaging. Her voice of expression paints the terrain of every emotion that one goes through when life presents a major shift in who you are, what you do and how you navigate through life...one breath at a time. Bridgid threads the lively and interactive presentation with truth, tears, laughter...authenticity. One walks away from her presentation marveling with awe at how strong and amazing she is to have survived such an intense journey of healing. Perhaps we all are touched by an angel when you hear her story."-Dr. Jane F. Bourgeois "Bridgid, you are a miracle." I remember as your physician telling you these words in our clinic as I reviewed your brain CT scan from your initial head injury. Although you are not alone in suffering a significant traumatic head injury, I believe that you are unique in your positive approach to your recovery, your dedication to sharing your experience, and your commitment to helping and motivating others to overcome their own life obstacles and adversity. As a physician I deeply and sincerely admire your efforts and your positive attitude in dealing with a truly difficult and challenging personal experience. I am always pleased to hear of the many positive life changes that have occurred for you as you continue on your journey towards recovery. I also always get a kick out of your ability to share your experiences with the medical system and in our clinic when you speak publically. I wish you good luck and great success on your book, Discovering a Life's Purpose and I hope that your message of hope, recovery, and optimism reaches as many people as possible so that they can benefit from your experience, wisdom, and wit. Although we sometimes are witness to events that are miraculous, sometimes the real miracles are people like you."-Dr. Andrew Lee

James M Landis – scholar, administrator, advocate and political adviser – is known for his seminal contribution to the creation of the modern system of market regulation in the USA. As a highly influential participant in the politics of the New Deal he drafted the statute which was to become the foundation for securities regulation in the US, and by extension the founding principle of financial market regulation across the world. He was also a complex and in some ways tragic figure, whose glittering career collapsed following the revelation that he had failed to pay tax for a five year period in the 1950s. The oversight was to cost possible elevation to the Supreme Court, forced prosecution and sentencing in 1963 to one month's imprisonment, commuted to forced hospitalisation, and subsequent suspension of licence to practise. This candid and revealing book sets his life in the context of his work as an academic, legislative draftsman, administrator and Dean of Harvard Law School. In rescuing from history Landis's battles and achievements in regulatory design, theory and practice, it speaks directly to the perennial problems in financial market regulation - how to deal with institutions deemed too big to fail, how to regulate the sale of complex financial instruments and what role can the professions play as gatekeepers of market integrity. It argues that in failing to learn from the lessons of history we limit the capacity of regulatory intervention to facilitate cultural change, without which contemporary responses to financial crises are destined to fail.
