I was sleeping in a tent in South Carolina with nothing left. My wife was gone. My son was growing up without me. And I still thought everyone else was the problem.
This is the true story of what happened next.
Zero to Sixty: Rock Bottom to Victory is a memoir of addiction, rock bottom, and the long climb back-through recovery, fatherhood, faith, and failure-to a life worth living.
Not a sudden transformation.
A rebuild.
One decision at a time.
Self-control before I could lead myself. Reliability before anyone could trust me. Coachability before I could grow. Then competence, conscientiousness, and confidence-before I was ready to carry responsibility beyond my own recovery.
Eventually, the climb stopped being about rebuilding my own life.
It became about what I had to give.
Seeing people. Hearing them. Loving them. Serving them.
There's no shortcut in these pages. No overnight fix. Just proof-hard-won, page by page-that a life can be rebuilt from nothing.
Maybe your zero looks like addiction. Maybe it's failure, regret, a broken marriage, a lost career-or just the quiet realization that the life you're living isn't the one you were meant for.
Wherever your zero is, it doesn't have to be where you stay.
Your zero is a starting point. It is not your destination.
Turn the page.
It starts in the tent.
