edit data

Brian Storm grew up in Philadelphia, PA, where he discovered a passion for writing at an early age. However, a drug addiction took priority over Brian’s life, as he sold drugs to support his habit. Eventually Brian turned his life around with the help of a 12-step program.

The 12-step program helped him to discover a passion for helping other alcoholics and addicts. This passion led Brian to write his memoir, “the Struggle,” to share his experience, strength, and hope with others. Years later, Brian pursued a career at the Free Library of Philadelphia. He then went back to school and obtained his Associate of Arts Degree.

I originally planned to release my upcoming memoir “The Struggle: 10th Anniversary Edition” on February 19th, 2022. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the release date has been postponed to sometime in the summer of 2022. I have been hard at work in recording the audio book version, and while the quality of the audio is coming out better than I expected, it is very time consuming. I am ab

Brian Storm liked Elissa's review of The Struggle: 10 Years Later: "This book hit me straight in the gut.

His voice is raw and u" Read more of this review »
