Alive Again: My Journey from Addiction to Abundance

By Michael R Roeser and Denise M Hogstrom

Once an All-American elite college athlete, and now a top national sales producer with his own business, Michael seemed to be on top of the world, to have it all. Outgoing, the center of any party, an expert in his field, an in-demand golfer at customer tournaments, great family, country clubs, houses, cars - his life seemed perfect; he couldn't ask for more. Except for internal peace. What looked like the American Dream on the outside was a life of fear and increasing chaos on the inside. Once in peak physical condition, he was now a tired, severely overweight, out-of-shape man with increasing health issues. The pressures of his rapidly growing business, a family experiencing significant medical conditions, and unaddressed past traumas were getting increasingly tough to outrun. The occasional drink to relax became two and three or five to escape. As his life spiraled out of control, Michael found himself in the grips of alcoholism. His only way to deal with problems became his largest problem of all, threatening his relationships, his business, and his life. Perched on the edge of death, Michael knew he was like the cat who had used all nine of its lives. Without a miracle, he was at the end of his road. That miracle came - in an unexpected form - followed by others. The long, hard road to recovery required that he re-invent himself. He only had to Make a Beginning, and a better, richer, more rewarding life unfolded in front of him. The insights and lessons learned along the way were not his to keep but his to share, to help others seeking a better, more meaningful and peace-filled life. Join Michael as he shares his journey from disaster and loss to a life of abundance and blessings.
