This site will host fictional stories and poems that pull from my own personal experiences. I have had quite an eventful life, and I’ve put the much work in to healing from past traumatic events, shame, and emotional pain. My writings can be raw and emotional, and on rare occasions I may tap into a lighter, humorous subject. Most of the time; however, my desire to lock in is usually fueled by a memory of the darker times.

So, I don’t have a particular genre and my style varies. I haven’t really been very serious with my writings, and I haven’t developed a personal preference.

Somehow, I managed to survive decades as an opiate addiction that started right before American officials declared the opiate crisis as a public health emergency. There were many failed attempts to achieve long-term sobriety. Until one day, everything in the universe clicked into place. I now have over 5 years clean and sober. The past five years have been some of the happiest years of my life. The key for me is to never stop working on spiritual growth. I have found that when my attention is not on spiritual growth, life will throw me into a situation which forces me to change my focus.

Like many others who are on paths of recovery, whether it is recovery from substance abuse, other mental health issues, or dysfunctional family patterns, writing has always been the best way I can clear the “noise” from my mind. Through this process, I renew my appreciation for what my life has become and how far I have come.
