[Madeleine Black · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very honest account of the author's journey from a living hell to living big. He doesn't hold back on the amount of drugs and drink he consumed in thirteen years, which also found him homeless and living from squat to squat.
I'm in awe of how he has turned his life around from being totally selfish to one of now serving others. It took for him to be literally at death's door before he surrended to his predicament and with the love and support of his family and people he met through his meetings, he started his detox to be free
It was during his detox that he really discovered his life purpose and has dedicated his life to helping others get clean and stay clean.

He states that his mission is to "Co-create a green and harmonious world, through laughter and love, and to contribute towards the quality of the lives of other people"
