Book excerpt: When Michael Cooley returned to his childhood home in St. Louis, many of his old friends offered him this greeting: 'Cooley, I thought you were dead.' And by many accounts, he should have been dead. Michael Cooley was a member of two dysfunctional families. His mother in St. Louis was an alcoholic. His stepmother and stepbrothers in Gainesville, Texas, abused him relentlessly—both physically and verbally. As a child, Mike bounced from school to school and from city to city. As a teenager, he turned to gangs and drugs for a sense of acceptance. Eventually, he ended up homeless, sleeping on rooftops and in alleys, and living out of his car. But after living as an abused child, a homeless and drug-addicted teenager, and a completely lost young adult, Mike decided to start over as a different person. Rock Bottom—From the Streets to Success tells Mike's story from his childhood in the 1960s until today. Mike escapes the darkness of his past and eventually puts his life back together to become a success in business and in his personal life. Follow Mike as he overcomes the hardships of his childhood and shares his experiences in hopes of helping others who may be facing their own challenges.

Book excerpt: Once, the Blood Orphans had it all: a million-dollar recording contract from Warner Brothers, killer hooks, and cheekbones that could cut glass. Four pretty boys from Los Angeles, they were supposed to be the next big thing, future kings of rock and roll. But something happened on the way to glory, and now, two years later, along with their coke-fueled, mohawked female manager, they have washed up in Amsterdam for the final show of their doomed and dismal European tour. The singer has become a born-again Buddhist who preaches from the stage, the bass player's raging eczema has turned his hands into a pulpy mess, the drummer is a sex-fiend tormented by the misdeeds of his porn-king father, and the guitar player -- the only talented one -- is thoroughly cowed by the constant abuse of his bandmates. As they stumble through their final day together, the Blood Orphans find themselves on a comic tour of frustration, danger, excitement, and just possibly, redemption.

Download or read book Beyond Belief written by Josh Hamilton and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2008-10-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Josh Hamilton was the first player chosen in the first round of the 1999 baseball draft. He was destined to be one of those rare "high-character " superstars. But in 2001, working his way from the minors to the majors, all of the plans for Josh went off the rails in a moment of weakness. What followed was a 4-year nightmare of drugs and alcohol, estrangement from friends and family, and his eventual suspension from baseball. BEYOND BELIEF details the events that led up to the derailment. Josh explains how a young man destined for fame and wealth could allow his life to be taken over by drugs and alcohol. But it is also the memoir of a spiritual journey that breaks through pain and heartbreak and leads to the rebirth of his major-league career. Josh Hamilton makes no excuses and places no blame on anyone other than himself. He takes responsibility for his poor decisions and believes his story can help millions who battle the same demons. "I have been given a platform to tell my story" he says. "I pray every night I am a good messenger."
Book Synopsis Rock-Bottom Blessings by : Karen Beattie
Download or read book Rock-Bottom Blessings written by Karen Beattie and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to live an abundant life? Some might say living abundantly means living comfortably, having the family you always dreamed of, receiving accolades from your peers, in short—living a life that is commonly accepted by many as blessed. But what if having an abundant life is more than the “good life”? Can we actually be blessed in the midst of serious disappointments and setbacks? In Rock-Bottom Blessings, Karen Beattie makes the case that true abundance is found in the transformation that happens when we experience God’s presence during periods of grief, loss, and disappointment. With the help of her friends and her newfound Catholic faith, she learns to trust that God’s plan is better than hers. Beattie began to see life’s challenges as gifts to be accepted like all other gifts: with reverence and gratitude. Beattie’s story makes abundantly clear: it is the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ (the paschal mystery) that can inspire us not only to find blessings in every season of our lives, but to be utterly transformed by God’s riches.

Download or read book Beyond Madness written by Rachel A. Pruchno and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals proven solutions for bettering the lives of people with serious mental illness, their families, and their communities. Leading scientist and gifted storyteller Rachel A. Pruchno, PhD, was shocked to encounter misinformation, ignorance, and intolerance when she sought to help her daughter, newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Turning to the scientific literature, Dr. Pruchno eventually found solutions, but she realized many others would need help to understand the highly technical writing and conflicting findings. In Beyond Madness—part memoir, part history, and part empathetic guide—Dr. Pruchno draws on her decades as a mental health professional, her own family's experiences with mental illness, and extensive interviews with people with serious mental illness to discuss how individuals live with these illnesses, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression. The book • presents real-world vignettes that vividly describe what it is like to experience some of the most troubling symptoms of a severe mental illness • offers practical advice for how individuals, family members, and communities can help people with a serious mental illness • explains how people with mental illness can find competent health care providers, identify treatment regimens, overcome obstacles to treatment, cope with stigma, and make decisions • provides insight into programs, such as Crisis Intervention Training, that can help people undergoing mental health crisis avoid jail and get the treatment they need • takes aim at the popular concept of "rock bottom" and reveals why this is such a harmful and simplistic approach • advocates for evidence-based care • documents examples of communities that have embraced successful strategies for promoting recovery • shows that people with serious mental illnesses can live productive lives Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Beyond Madness is a call to action and a promise of hope for everyone who cares about and interacts with the millions of people who have serious mental illness. Family members, friends, teachers, police, primary care doctors, and clergy—people who recognize that something is wrong but don't know how to help—will find the book's practical advice invaluable.

Book excerpt: ROCK BOTTOM BOOK TWO: TRISTAN & DANIKA Their love had the power of a runaway freight train, and the potential to be just as destructive. The tempestuous sequel to Bad Things picks up where the first book left off. Reeling from a profound loss, Tristan and Danika struggle to pick up the pieces and build a life together, but the hard habits of a lifetime are not so easy to escape. Rock Bottom takes us on a dual point of view journey through addiction and desire, through love and agony, and answers the question we've been asking since these characters were introduced in Grounded: "What happened between Tristan and Danika?" DANIKA Even love couldn't cushion a fall like ours. My love for Tristan was so big that I felt consumed by it, and even so, it was not enough to overpower our combined demons. I struggled. I yelled and screamed. I scratched and kicked. I fought like hell, but even the most determined fighters have to stop before they break. No one could say I didn't fight for him. "I love you," I spoke softly into his ear. He gripped me harder. "I can't ever lose you, Danika. I'm not sure I'd survive it." "You've got me. And I'm not going anywhere. Not ever." I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for us. I'd have given my life for that fight. In fact, I very nearly did. TRISTAN She was the one. If I'd ever had a doubt, I didn't now. She was the one I'd be thinking about, longing for, until I took my last breath. If I lost her tomorrow, I'd pine for her like a lovesick fool. This was the kind of love that only hit you once in your life.
Book Synopsis From Rock Bottom to Mountain Tops by : Frankie M. Powers
Download or read book From Rock Bottom to Mountain Tops written by Frankie M. Powers and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three weeks of having relapsed, I entered Hanley Rehabilitation Center in West Palm Beach. A rehabilitation center for alcoholics and drug addicts. I had no idea what I had in store for me but having been in Marine Corp boot camp over twenty years prior, I prepared mentally for the journey before me. My experiences throughout my life had been rooted in heartache, disappointments and anger. I resented many people around me. I continued playing over and over in my mind my regrets, past failures and feelings of not being enough to those I loved. Upon exiting Hanley, I surrendered. I fully surrendered to life, to control, and to the only One who dictated the obstacles and blessings that would come my way, I surrendered to God. I took a two-year hiatus traveling throughout the country, discovering endless possibilities and a far different way of living. I learned to fully love myself, which, without that, I would have stayed paralyzed and stuck in regret, frozen in fear for the rest of my life. I learned about the power of our thoughts, the importance of being present and the need to find fulfillment in life. I became an expert in communication skills and relationships and became aware that most of us don't even see a glimpse of what is possible and attainable in them. I learned that where you focus your attention, your energy and emotions in your life attach to that. What I also discovered, along the way, was my purpose for living, my passion, the one thing that sets my soul on fire. I became aware of my lifelong love affair with people, with watching people glow and helping people grow. I learned that every single individual is born with certain inherent gifts given to them by their Creator, that they are graced with, that are uniquely theirs. It is their mission in life to discover what that is and gift it to the world. I learned the value of serving my fellow man and being a giver rather than a taker in every opportunity presented. Every experience I share with you in this book, my memoir, has made me the man I am today. There is nothing that has occurred or happened to me that was an accident or a mistake. In my journey, it was through the virtues of faith, hope and love that overcame and conquered any and all obstacles and hardships that I had ever endured. I now spend my life giving unto others as an empowerment coach, life guide and strategist; to explore with anyone who I have been blessed with their presence, with the opportunity to jointly find what it is holding them back from having the breakthroughs in life they are destined to discover. I have completely reshaped my physical body, as well as my emotional, spiritual, and mental makeup. I have overcome obesity, alcoholism, divorce, heartache, depression, anxiety, as well as, suicidal thoughts and desires. I may not know the hardships that some of you are going through, but I understand what it feels like to feel hopeless, alone and afraid. The transformation process was a long journey, but the end result has given me a whole new perspective in life. In doing so, I have become a better man, friend, father and human being. My test has become my testimony. Everything you desire in your life is there for the taking if you can get out of your own way. Seek and thee shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. It's time to break free to have the life that you were destined to live.
