I Am Jack: My Story About Drug Addiction

eBook (Xulon Press Oct. 29, 2019)
Jack’s story is told many times in many families across the U.S. Jack is a good
kid with dreams and family. He is better off than most yet looks for something in
well known and traveled places. Why does he look where others warn of disaster?
What is it that pulls Jack and so many others to try the forbidden apple of drugs?
No sane person wakes up healthy and well with an attraction to addiction. But like
so many times before the laughing, smiling, waving of unconditional acceptance
full of happy times and back-slapping friends calls Jack to travel along. Where
does he go? How long does he stay? What does it cost him? Do others follow with
the same sense of control? Jack’s journey reveals the very sober reality that no
one makes choices that only effect themselves. Others pay enormous cost who
never experience the euphoria. They are the other side of the story. They follow
outside the cloud of addiction in the grinding agony of cold, sharp, unforgiving
reality. They pick up the pieces and clean the mess left behind in every dip in the
road. No one thinks of them. But they stay and take the punishment that pours
out into their lives because of the only thing that really matters in a family and
in the world. The idea that someone would take the pain and yearn for the return
of those lost on that road even at the expense of sacrificing themselves to save
them. Jack found two people who were willing to pay the ultimate price for his
redemption. One was his mother and the other was Jesus. Jack found them both.
Jack’s life changed because of the love that makes all things new. Join him and
his mother in Jack’s story.
