About this audiobook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When I was an infant, my father was away at war, and my mother was overwhelmed by being a single parent. She would have breakdowns, during which she would sleep the morning away and leave me and my sister to play by ourselves. #2 When I was 13, my mother began to tell me about how abusive and sadistic my father was towards her. I felt responsible for her and felt like I had to save her. The more she told me about her problems with my father, the more I felt like a better person. #3 I had developed a faith in God, but I was still unable to solve my depression. I was eventually able to turn to my mother-in-law for help, and she helped me turn to God. I began to believe that I could be in a relationship with God, and that God loved me and would back me up. #4 I was a nurse working at a drug and rehabilitation facility in Wickenburg, Arizona. I began listening to the lectures on addiction, and I realized that I was an alcoholic. I began treating alcoholics, and I was asked to help develop ways of treating chemical dependencies and other psychological problems.
