Only great lessons learned." Boy, have I ever learned a lot of great lessons. We are all a work-in-progress. Kudos to you for sharing your insights for the benefit of others. Best wishes to you and good luck,

Debbie

You have a new life and a new book. Good on ya! What are you doing to market your book? You are not far from me when we snowbird in the winter. Maybe we can meet at a writers conference in the desert somewhere. May it go well with you. Alaska Jim

This is a serious suggestion. Have you thought of having your book for sale in an eBook format? I could afford a much cheaper eBook, especially as there is no postage to add on. I'm sure the same is true for others, especially if they have to be posted abroad. With my sight issues I am seriously considering an Apple I Pad (at present, my hubby reads books to me). A Kindle is an alternative but I could do more on the I Pad. I am NOT advertising here! I have no connection with anyone selling electronics. But I have found my books that are published abroad are doing better as eBooks. (Of course, family, friends, colleagues get print versions. Printed books for promotional purposes too.)

Welcome and thank you for the friend request. I liked the compulsive point of view you suggested addicts have because while it may not be a drug, food or alcohol driven need, for me it is a compulsion for artistic recognition that can drives my soul. I wish you nothing but infinite success as we venture towards that part of life! Congrats on your successes to date, it is quite an accomplishment. Please feel free to look at a product a friend and I have created for recovery clients on my Etsy site; it is for Art Journaling. Have a great day.

I love your Trailer and wish you tons of luck with your book. I know that opening ourselves up under a microscope isn't easy but it's so worthwhile for all of us. We each have so much to give and learn.

At 8:23am on July 6, 2011, LinDee Rochelle said…: Hello John! Thanks for the add and nice to cyber-meet you. I grew up in the '60s ... and '70s ... and '80s ... finally matured in the 2000s (well over 40!). lol Somehow I escaped the wrath of addiction, but many of my friends weren't so lucky. I commend you and them for finding your way back. Any addiction -- alcohol -- drugs -- cigarettes -- is tough to kick and by the sheer virtue of our metabolism, dang near impossible for many. I love that you're helping others -- we all need help in life. Cheers!

I'm so pleased that you wrote about your experiences and that you've beaten all the odds with your success. It strikes me as quite meaningful that you address the criminalization of an illness.

I have started writing much more contemporary stories than Historical chick flick. As of late more men seem to be reading my stuff. Wishing you the best of life. You seem to have been working hard at obtaining it.
Thanks again. Jkathleen...( J J )
