Sinopsis

Michael Strong is a human service professional committed to helping those who are addicted, homeless, and veterans. As a homeless systems administrator, life skills instructor, veteran’s volunteer and more importantly a sponsor, Michael’s remarkable life experiences have prepared him for a lifelong goal of enlightening, teaching and sharing with others how the battles they fight are never lost. While this book would never capture all the feelings, emotions and events of his often turbulent life, it is Michael’s hope that what you read in this book will serve as a beacon of hope and inspire us all to understand rather than be understood and to love more and hate less. Elizabeth Wharton wrote, “There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

Reseña del editor

In 1980 during his senior year at Wallace High School, Michael Strong was the starting point guard on the varsity basketball team and voted “Most Talented and Best All Around.” But when Strong left his Bennettsville hometown for The Air Force after graduation, he had no idea that during the next 20 years he’d get married, father two children, travel to five of the world’s seven continents – and become a drug addict. Strong, who lives in Baltimore and works as an intake and outreach specialist at a facility for homeless veterans, chronicles his life in Strong Getting Stronger, a no holds barred autobiography that doesn’t sugarcoat addiction but instead provides readers with a firsthand account of its destruction.
