Reggie’s Story about
addiction and incarceration.

Written by George Maris

George Maris is an author of inspirational books.
He decided to write this book because of the inspiration that was freely given to him. Reggie Washington’s story is one of the most inspirational stories told. It is told in nine parts by an interview that he had given to The Second Road where life intersects with recovery. www.thesecondroad.org

 

This book is dedicated to:
both the recovering and suffering addict.

Although anonymous as they may be, It takes great
enthusiasm in recognizing the struggle and hardship that comes with living life on life’s terms. In recovery one takes such an optimistic stand against a pessimistic view. When faced with challenges, circumstances, and very real problems that use to run our lives, it’s time to conquer the fears that bound the soul.

Reggie is a metaphor his story is about addiction. Reggie, examples: The Stages of Change Model through his incarceration and imprisonment. Stages of change from pre contemplation to maintenance, reflects in his story.
