Recovery: A True Story

By Mark Owen Higgins

RECOVERY: A TRUE STORY

In this raw and powerful memoir, Mark Higgins takes readers on an unflinching journey through addiction, imprisonment, and the remarkable path to 315 days of sobriety.

When the systems meant to help failed him-from unprepared lawyers to mental health professionals who did nothing but lie-Mark found salvation in the one place he least expected: community. Through the authentic support of the RCA Trust in Paisley and his own unwavering resilience, he discovered that change isn't just possible-it's inevitable when you refuse to give up.

More than just a memoir, this book serves as a practical guide for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Each chapter combines brutal honesty with actionable techniques, reflection questions, and concrete steps readers can apply to their own recovery journeys.

From the darkness of Barlinnie prison to the triumph of helping thirteen others through their first 90 days of sobriety, Mark's story proves that our darkest moments can become the foundation for a meaningful life. His experiences navigating broken systems, rebuilding relationships, and finding purpose offer hope to anyone who has ever felt trapped by their circumstances.

"Recovery: A True Story" stands as a testament to the power of resilience and the truth that good things will happen when you keep moving forward-one day, one choice, one moment at a time.
