LIVE!! MUST BE READ IN ORDER!

“…They don’t look twice at their meek little captive. They shattered my heart five ways when they killed my brutes, so I don’t care anymore. If I’m to stop the villains, I need to become one.

“Isn’t it strange that there’s ALWAYS a reason to grab a drink? Are you happy, let’s drink. Sad? Let’s drink. Bored? You get the picture! I lived 42 years of my life believing that because it was Tuesday that it was a great time to drink. Until one day, hungover and sad, I decided I didn’t want this life anymore. So I quit. Cold turkey. 

It was the greatest thing I’ve ever done for my personal, professional and family life, so I wanted to share my journey with others. Thats why I wrote my book, so I can hopefully meet someone in a place that is also… Tired of Feeling Like Sh*t.”

The Steel Enterprises Great App Challenge is my absolute last shot. There’s just one giant, grumpy roadblock…”

LIVE!! SHE WAS THE ONE THAT RAN AWAY…
