I went to a party when I was eleven and didn't get back until I was 45. More than 30 years of drug and alcohol addiction ended with a stretch in prison. That was my first life. My second life started when I was released from prison and went back to school. I didn't stop until I earned a Ph.D. in depth psychology.
