Steve Campion never planned on being a drunk, and he certainly never planned on writing about it. But things just have a way of happening. In The Man Beside, he offers a very personal look at addiction and recovery, offering hope tempered with the reality of how difficult recovery can be.
Campion shares a series of short narratives, observations, and thoughts, including snapshots from his childhood, musings about his past, and discussion about his journey to becoming clean and sober. Through these memories, he tells how it was the combination of moments that led him into and out of using. Campion admits his substance abuse, addiction, and recovery have helped to define who he is and where heÕs going.
The Man Beside offers unique insight into whatÕs really going on in an addicted mind, helping others understand they are not alone on their road to recovery.
