I had absolutely no reasonable choice in life but to walk the road of recovery, healing and truth,  to do anything other than that would have been living outside of the reality of the life I was born into and the experiences I had been exposed to in my formation years.

The manner in which I have crafted my life was the only true hope of breaking free of the bondages of pain and suffering and to also reclaim my God given right to Love, Joy and Peace.
