CINEREAL is the saga I must impart. My soul poured onto paper. This memoir describes how I descended into alcohol addiction, what led to my conviction for alcohol sobriety and how freedom was achieved. In this raw, intimate narrative, I share my experiences with the desire that they will inspire and help another to discover true healing and peace. At its core, this is the account of a prodigal son. One that challenges our perceptions of what is ultimately important, exploring pride, autonomy, the supernatural, faith, humility, forgiveness and love. CINEREAL navigates through my life's wild chapters such as the Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Colorado, Oregon, the traumatic brain injury and more. If you or someone you love has ever battled addiction and longed for emancipation from darkness, I have written CINEREAL for you. This is a redemption story.
