From Escape to Meaning is a personal story of addiction, recovery, emotional struggle and the search for a life that feels worth living.
Growing up on a Scottish farm, John Graham was sensitive, shy and often felt different. As life unfolded, escape took many forms: alcohol, travel, activity, relationships, fantasy, avoidance and the wish not to feel what was happening inside.
This book follows that journey through addiction, emotional difficulty, recovery, personal growth, counsellor training and eventually becoming a psychotherapist.
Written with warmth and honesty, From Escape to Meaning explores what it can mean to move from simply surviving life to understanding it more deeply. It is not only a story about stopping drinking or leaving addiction behind. It is about discovering meaning, connection, self-understanding and a different way of living.
The book forms the autobiographical foundation of The Inner Recovery Series, bringing together lived experience, recovery and psychology in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in addiction, emotional healing, counselling or personal growth.
A journey from trying to escape life to discovering a life worth living.
