Following two decades of using drugs to numb every part of his life, Tony Donachy finally reached rock bottom and committed to change. Starting with the twelve steps program, he delved deeper into his past desperate to understand - is it nature or nurture? Are we shaped, and moulded by our experiences or are we already born predestined to be who we have become?
Tony's journey to a deeper understanding of self, took him to yoga, meditation, reiki, shamanic healing and counselling. Now working as a holistic therapist, he continues to ask if there is a better way to approach addiction.
In this honest and gritty account, he shares his own emotional traumas, dark thoughts and behaviours that led him from feeling like an outsider who never belonged, to becoming a knife-carrying addict stealing from family, wrecking his own life and relationships.
But this is a book of hope and Tony shows addiction does not need to be the end, offering new perspectives on how you can get better and live a life of contentment and self-acceptance.
It's a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and change the torment of addiction.
