Wanning off prescription medications (SSRIs and benzodiazepines) for depression and anxiety are a huge contributor to the positive momentum in my recovery journey and current state of mental, physical and spiritual wellness. I took medications for about 15 years. I shared my pharmaceutical rollercoaster ride – in hopes that it will resonate with others – in an article in the The Minnesota Star Tribune.

For most of my life, I was never keen or enthusiastic about making New Year’s Resolutions. The past few years, however, my attitude has changed.

I’m really excited about the energy, enthusiasm and support surrounding the debut of A Fragile Utopia. The book – which chronicles my alcoholism journey and offers insight on early recovery – hit No. 1 in a couple categories on Amazon.
