Book Cover & Preview Text
Those of you who have purchased this book are most likely in the midst of an incredible journey. I assume you are experiencing difficult times with your teen or you would have no need to buy this book. I should explain further that I am not writing under my real name. Please forgive me for that. My family and I have been through way too much pain and sorrow over the last several years to put them or myself through more. I can only ask that you trust the fact that I have been where you are. I’m nobody famous. I’m not wealthy. I’m not a doctor or medical professional of any kind. Nor do I pretend to be. I’m just a man, a father who has lived through the same hell as you might be. For that reason, I will also not use my family members’ real names either. My wife “Kathy”, is just a regular mom who has also gone through the same hell you are. I feel we have the best expertise of all—personal experience. Writing this book may very well be the most horrific task I have completed. You see, in order to write this, I have to relive years of gut wrenching memories over and over again. But I’m willing in order to help you. I promised myself that if God would just help us through this, I would do anything to help others through it. Even if I can help just one family, I will be happy. In this book you will read things that might hit very close to home. Some of them will put knots in your belly or make you cry. Others will make you feel guilty or angry. Then of course, you have some that will just flat out scare the hell out of you. Believe it or not, you may even get a laugh or two out of this. That’s important. We need to find reasons to laugh. Keeping a sense of humor is very difficult in horrible situations, but necessary. Do not let denial overpower you. You cannot even begin to cope with the troubles you face without facing the truth, no matter how terrible it may be. Face it and keep facing it or these things will be your undoing. Telling our story will not be easy for me so I’ll ask you in advance to bear with me on that. On the other hand, I also want to try to give you some hope. There is always hope! You just have to look hard to see it.

About the Author
Calvin is just a regular hard-working middle class man with a wife, two children and two grandchildren. He and his family have years of going through what you are and maybe more. He is not a doctor. He is not a psychiatrist or counselor. And he is not a recognized drug expert, but he has learned an awful lot through his family’s experiences. This book is not three hundred pages long because Calvin gets right to the point, helping you find ways to cope with what you are experiencing.
