After living, wild and free, on the beaches of California for the better part of five years I found myself chronically ill, penniless, and sleeping in the bushes of Golden Gate Park. This book is a first-hand account of my personal struggles with alcoholism, chronicling my descent into despair and homelessness followed by a complete metamorphosis through acceptance and reliance on a higher power. Join me on my journey back from the brink of death to a wonderful, productive life that can only be descibed as miraculous.
