Get lost in the incredible true redemption story of a man's journey through a typical childhood, to a dark path of addiction, to finding his faith in God.
As a child, Damian had a happy life. He had loving parents, a great brother, and a passion for playing baseball that got him up in the morning. However, when his parents divorced and he entered high school, he began to feel lost. At just 14, he started experimenting with drugs and alcohol out of boredom after falling in with a questionable crowd.
Throughout high school and college, Damian craved thrill. He and a friend began selling pills until a near robbery at a party sobered him to the reality that his safety was not worth the money he'd made. Loss of his best friend and second father figure catapulted his depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Finding help felt like the only option, but his addiction story wasn't over.
Breaking the Silence: My Journey from Addiction to Healing takes the reader on an engaging and immersive life story. Author Damian Bloss employs a close-to-the-chest narrative to make his memoir seem as though you're listening to an old friend tell stories about their life.
As readers turn the pages to new chapters in Damian's life, they'll find a profound and resonating lesson: that addiction does not have a face. It can happen to anyone; regardless of their upbringing, background, and life circumstances. Breaking the Silence seeks to unravel the standard of struggling in silence because of fear or judgements from others.
This compelling memoir is an interesting and exciting read for anyone who enjoys life stories. In particular, Damian wrote Breaking the Silence to encourage and support those in active addiction and recovery - as well as family members and friends of those struggling.
