Dropping cocaine on my bedroom floor in a drunken stupor possibly saved my life

I used to read Chicken Soup for the Soul books religiously as a teenager, and I always dreamed of writing a book with the title Shower for the Soul as a parody of the series. I chose the name Shower for the Soul for my first podcast even though I never imagined I'd publish a book, but here I am. The true stories I've chosen for "Recapturing my mental health through short stories" were chosen with care. Stories of times when I was struggling but ultimately won the battle to take back who I was.
