A Life Not Wasted

Do you have a friend or loved one suffering with an addiction or substance abuse issue and are struggling to understand what is happening? The truth is, most of us know someone who has suffered or have suffered ourselves. And yet for a problem affecting between 20-30% of the population there is a shocking lack of understanding of what it actually means to live with an addiction. Statistics and studies may establish the scope of the battle we face, but numbers do little to bridge the gap between suffering and healing. What is necessary is a frank and honest look at the problem and how to establish a solid path back to well being. With over 40 years experience in the field Bob MacDonald has dealt with this issue from every angle. From the death of his brother before he was even born, to the blackouts that nearly took his own life, Bob’s story is one that will resonate with anyone who has been down this path themselves. For those with no direct experience with addiction, A Life Not Wasted will provide invaluable insights to help you understand this issue a little better, which may, in turn, help us navigate some difficult relationships in our own lives. It may also help you identify potential problem areas in your own life, to help make sure you’re not stumbling blindly down a dark path yourself.
