Black Box Movement - A Memoir of...

M

The Black Box Movement is not a redemption story. It’s a flight recorder. A raw, unfiltered record of one man’s collapse — and the invisible work of rebuilding a life after addiction, estrangement, and the quiet erasure that comes when you're cut off from your children. 
Written and narrated by a father who nearly didn’t survive, this audiobook tells the truth most recovery books won’t: sobriety doesn’t guarantee healing, and healing doesn’t guarantee reunion. 
This isn’t advice. This isn’t performance. It’s a record — of the work they’ll never witness, and the man who chose to become someone worth returning to, even if no one ever does.

When Time Means Nothing

Judi Nash

Way more than just a true story, a time when truth became my leveller and my strength, the planer of honesty and sand-blaster of reality...
Self-Development requires much more than telling your story. It goes far beyond putting it out there and getting things off your chest. It is infinitely more as it requires a deeper level of honesty than I was used to and it travels deeper within the self than I had ever imagined.
For me it was the one place and space I needed to go to and yet, it was a place so intrusively intimate and so emotionally destabilising at times that I more often than not, wanted to run from. Still, I never for one second thought that it would be as difficult as it proved to be.
Truth became my leveller and my strength, both the planer of honesty and the sand blaster of reality in exposing the deepest, darkest, and most painful secrets of my past. Experiences that had shaped and determined just how I had seen, analysed, and reacted to the different events throughout my life.
A story so dissimilar yet so the same in many ways to the person who might just perhaps, be standing right next to me, a roller coaster of emotions as I dared to journey into the inner sanctum of my personal being in search of the real me. From the earliest beginnings to the present and everything in between when I finally discovered for myself, that the courage I needed to begin my journey of self-discovery and self-development, was right there within me. I just had to be brave enough to reach for it.

Don't Count Me Out - A Baltimore...

Rafael Alvarez

Don't Count Me Out chronicles the life of Bruce White from the beginning of his drug use in elementary school through criminal acts fueled by his need for drugs, to his miraculous recovery three decades later and involvement in the treatment of addicts, where he is now a leader in the rehabilitation field. 
 
 
 
Rafael Alvarez's recounting of White's journey should inspire those dealing with the fallout of addiction. Alvarez, a journalist and screenwriter, allows the listener to get inside the head of an addict who was stealing alcohol from his parents at the age of nine, selling drugs and tripping on LSD and PCP by the time he hit seventh grade, and hooked on morphine before he turned fifteen. "Bruce White? I thought he was dead?" is a response encountered in many of the interviews Alvarez conducted. 
 
 
 
Don't Count Me Out shines a spotlight on an improbable and stunning miracle. Though this is just one person's story, the contributing factors of early sexual assault, the role of permissive preoccupied parents, and the need for peer approval, among others, will resonate with many as the opioid crisis continues to haunt us.

Royal Romances: The True Stories...

In fairy stories handsome Kings and Princes regularly sweep fair maidens off their feet, transforming them into Princesses and Queens, and although a rarer occurrence, a Royal Princess can create a Prince out of the most unpromising of characters! 
 
From King Arthur through to Prince Charles and Diana, Royal Romances - The British Monarchy gives you an enlightening insight into British Royal history.
