The Twelve Step Warrior by Peter Skillen
Kindle
I spent most of my young life searching; searching for a meaning to my existence. The problem was, I was searching in the wrong place.
My search was conducted on the very edge of society among fellow outcasts, all of them looking for answers, all making the same mistakes, all looking in the wrong places.
I wasn’t going to find a life worth living among the thieves, fighters, gamblers and one-time somebodies that propped up the bars of the worst drinking holes I attended back then on a nightly basis.
The people I was mixing with then had already given up on their search and I too had fallen into their fold. My existence had become a beggar’s search for the next hit of alcohol. I didn’t really care who bought it for me, but I needed it, I craved it and it consumed me.
All my thoughts, even when I had achieved my goal and was standing looking longingly into a full glass, were on where the next drink would come from. I was at the jumping off point and had to find a way out of this dark existence.
This is the story of how I found my way out of that darkness and into the light.

Not being an avid reader of books; I downloaded this and, to my surprise,found it almost impossible to put down. The book pulls no punches and sends out a clear message to its readers. An inspirational read.

Very true, related to it immediately! A brilliant read!
a truly incredible and blatantly honest story of Peter’s life and how he became an alcoholic and the journey through that and how he overcame it. I was bowled over by his journey and his courage both in overcoming it and writing so honestly
A Great Book written by an very courageous and Inspirational Man, Well done.
Such a journey, opens your eyes to what is happening around you.
Candid and real expression of the horror of addiction a great read.
This book was for me very emotional yet heart warming any many way’s, I’ve read bith version’s now and for me as a geown man to cry was enough to feel the authors pain and joy. However to see him truly turn his life around not only to help himself achieve but to bring so many others onlg the way too is very inspirational. Thank you Peter I take my hat off to you sir and keep doing what you’ve set out to do in you’re new found life.
I could not put this book down until the end. Perfect.
