McCauley began his journey and recovery in 1989. Became a member of a twelve-step group and began working in a hospital detox setting for years while earning his certification in alcohol and drug counseling as well as becoming a certified social worker. He later moved on to an outpatient facility then worked with the Division of Youth and Family Services before opening his own outpatient program (Life Skills Counseling) in 1998. After fifteen years in recovery, a single drink led to a major relapse, and in a matter of weeks, the blackouts occurred. McCauley woke up in a hospital surrounded by medical staff and police. He was later sent to prison for crime he does not remember committing. Thus began his journey anew to reclaim his life and recovery, doing a deep, inner soul-searching journey to answer the question of why this all happened. As he regained himself through reading and writing, his meticulous notes were kept on what worked and what doesn’t. This book is a result of that journey.ver menos
