Congratulations on breaking free of the world of drugs and achieving your education, as well as writing your book. You are a good role model for others fighting the same problems. Best of luck to you.

I'm sure you learned a bundle of life lessons along the way - you probably experienced more emotional and spiritual growth than most people attain in a lifetime.

You are a beautiful soul... thanks for adding me as your friend.

Love & Light,

Marilyn

At 1:25am on March 24, 2011, Paul Kyriazi said…: John, thanks for the friend request. Your story from 11 to 45 is powerful with great success. Like Apollo Cree said to Rocky, "It takes a hell of a man to change."

Did you have a faith spiritual experience before, during, or after your addiction experience?

At 11:08am on March 5, 2011, Pamela Joy Licatino said…: Thank you for the friend invite. Your book certainly is an inspiration. Your experience is an inspiration for not only defeiting a drug addiction, especially with the number of years, but a testimony that your life is what you make it. Congratulations. PAM

As you can see, I'm a bit behind on my correspondence on this network! So good to know you've included spiritual experiences in your book. I mention Al-Anon in my book, and the mystical quality of the Lord's Prayer as it's typically said in circle holding hands at the end of Al-Anon meetings. It's important for people in 12 Step programs and at other junctures of healing in life, to know that spiritual experiences aren't "weird," that they're part of life as a whole human being, and they connect us to the depth of who we are! Every good wish, Ceci

At 11:39am on March 28, 2009, Paul McNeese said…: John: Welcome to my world. When did you publish? I am about to begin an author interview program on Internet radio on a developing website called "The Authors' Roost," and yours might make an interesting -- even compelling -- story. If this appeals to you, please get in touch so we can investigate the possibilities. pmcneese@opaauthorservices.com

Congratulations on writing your book and impressively turning your life around. How can we work together to let others know about our books, actually our lifesaving information and stories of hope.
Thanks for adding me to your list of friends. This is such a great site for sharing books you have written or just read and enjoyed with those who enjoy reading. I hope that you have the opportunity to visit my web site. I would love to hear your impression and get some feedback about my site, book and purpose for writing it.

I would love to link your web site to my web site www.LifeInterrupted-nolonger.com . I was wondering if you would be willing to do the same for me?

Thanks and God bless,
Chris

At 11:28am on December 15, 2008, Fairlee Winfield said…: Interesting John. You're from Barstow. Have you lived there long, or do you remember? Teehee. I'm doing a new book that will have Barstow as the site of one scene. Not contemporary Barstow. Barstow in the mid 1930s when there was no air conditioning and Route 66 went right through it. The highway was best driven at night in those days.

My first book came out in September. BUFFALOed. Check it out on Amazon.com.

Good luck on your writing.
