When I started to write down what I`ve experienced over the years it made me realise there could be so much I could do to help other people. I believe for a lot of people fear is the worst,I also believe by me writing this book it has helped me deal with my fears along the way. I think anyone can give thier views and oponions that's why I`ve written FROM THAT TO THIS as I would like people to know how I dealt with my recovery and what lengths I`ve gone to so I could get where I am today. I was proberly an alcoholic by the time I was sixteen and been battling it ever since. The only way I could get my voice heard was by me writing down my experiences through substance misuse and I want people to know from me what it could do to them. What I`ve written is in my own words,there are mistakes in this book as I`ve had no help with this whatsoever. Thats what makes FROM THAT TO THIS so special. It has certainly improved my literacy,as you will read in my forthcoming book the spelling will better and believe me,if you find this book interesting then the next one is even more interesting and longer. FROM THAT TO THIS is only a little taster of what`s to come. I found all drug users drink alcohol, yet alcoholics didn`t take drugs, not at fi rst anyway. Old behaviour could of got me into alot of trouble had I not had self-control.
