I am excited to announce that The Recovery Formula: An Addict’s Guide to getting Clean Sober Forever is now available to pre-order through Amazon.

The Recovery Formula will officially be published on September 24th 2012, by Eightball Publishing.

Some wonderful people have already given me some great reviews, and I know you’re going to love the book, too.

When anyone asks me about the book, the first thing I say is that it is the book I wish I had had at the start of my own journey through addiction to recovery. It would have saved me a lot of time, pain, and frustration.

I wrote ‘The Recovery Formula’ so that other addicts wouldn’t have to go through all the trial and error that I did.

Recovery from addiction is not easy, but when you fully appreciate what you have to do, and how to do it, it is easier than trying to get your head around it when you don’t really know what you’re doing or where to start.

My biggest dream is to help addicts all over the world to find recovery – together we can do it – and this book is all part of that.

What a delight and an honour it was to be invited to The Living Room in Cardiff to share my story with other recovering addicts.

I met some lovely people, not least of all Wynford Ellis Owen, the founder of the project and the Chief Executive of the Welsh Council on Alcohol and Drugs.

It was a wonderful experience to be meeting the man whose book No Room To Live was a turning point in my own recovery from alcoholism.

It was a book I connected with during my darkest hours and which prompted me, above all, to lay my pride aside and to ask for more help from people who understood my addiction.

What an amazing moment to be visiting him, and the project, with my own book and my own story of recovery, to help other addicts.

The world of addiction recovery is built upon one addict helping another – and it was a very sweet moment indeed to be completing my part of the circle with other addicts seeking help and support from Wynford’s project.

I met some truly amazing people with inspiring stories of their own. Recovery really is an awesome thing and it unlocks the door to some incredible experiences.

No doubt there will be more beautiful moments of connection like this – I look forward to being part of them.
