A Life of Recovery is both a personal story and a guide for parents seeking hope in the face of addiction. Woody offers a compassionate, evidence-based approach to navigating one of life’s most overwhelming challenges.

Growing up in a home consumed by addiction, Woody experienced firsthand the pain, desperation, and chaos it brings. As an artist struggling with substance abuse, he fought his own battles before finding the path to recovery. In this book, he shares his journey—his survival, his healing, and the devastating loss of his brother, Brian, to addiction, untreated depression, and suicide.
