Product Description
by Marc Lee Shannon (Author)
In November, 2014, musician and Akron native Marc Lee Shannon believed for the first time that he could have a better life. Broken, beaten, and lost from his struggle with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Mental Health Issues (MI), he was given a second chance through the healing of medical treatment, community, and music.
Since then, Shannon has enjoyed uninterrupted sobriety that has allowed him to use his voice to empower others while serving as living evidence of his passion for recovery.
In this collection of essays, Shannon opens up about his sobriety journey, transporting readers from the darkest places of pain and loss to the mountaintop experiences of not just surviving but thriving in recovery. He shares the practices, beliefs, and words of strength that have shaped not just his sobriety but the unique experience of walking this road during a time of uncertainty and grief.
Originally published in The Devil Strip between 2019 and 2021, the essays of Sober Chronicles(TM) contain new reflections from Shannon that bring his hard-hitting yet uplifting stories to life.
