My Prodigal Son and Our Journey Together

This book was written by the father of his son, Michael, who earnestly tried but failed to beat alcohol and drug addiction. It is narrated by his father describing the difficult journey his son chose and one that he did not take alone. His family was right there with him supporting and loving him wherever he was on his journey, no matter how difficult it was. The best way to describe the spirit and purpose of this book is to hear from both the father and son below.

From Dad

“I experienced a loss that I still cannot come to terms with. My beautiful son, Michael, died three years ago. Prior to his tragic ending, he tried everything to break away from his addictions of alcohol and drugs, but nothing worked.

He was loved by many and befriended others suffering from the same disease as he did. His message to them is the same one he is sending through this book. In his very own words, he described his journey as follows…”

From his Son Michael

“Dad, I never knew my life would get to this point. I am slowly losing everything due to something I thought I could never become. My denial has led me to death’s door on so many occasions it’s just a matter of time."

This book is a gift from Michael’s father to his son. As you will hear, Michael has been urging his dad through dreams, songs, and other means to write this book-His book as a cautionary tale to those who are flirting with alcohol and drugs-so as to give them a wakeup call what will be in store from them if they foolishly take the same fatal journey he so unwittingly travelled.
