Welcome. Let me introduce my book, CRANIUM WARS to you.

I didn’t wake up one morning and say, “Today, I’m going to destroy my life.” No one does. Addiction is a slow, hungry enemy. It creeps in quietly, wearing the mask of comfort. A drink to relax. A pill to sleep. A line to forget. What starts as an innocent escape slowly becomes a trap you don’t remember walking into.

Honestly, looking back towards the very end of my active addiction, my life centered around the getting, using, and finding ways and means to get more. By the time I realized how far gone I was, the person I once knew—the version of me with ambition, love, laughter—was already buried beneath years of guilt, lies, and broken promises.

This book is not just about addiction. It’s about recovery. My personal addiction recovery story is both painful and beautiful, full of hard truths and “Thank God!” miracles. It’s a testimony to the fact that long-term sobriety is not just possible, it’s transformative. I want you to know that recovery is not reserved for the strong. It’s a pathway for the willing. If you’ve fallen, like I did, there is a way back. There is a plan.
