Overview

Anthony Marakovitz nails down what his life was like as an extreme addict for forty years--following his happy childhood, some bad boy middle and high school years, indiscriminate relationships, and normally fatal health complications with enough drugs and alcohol to have killed anyone. Now that he has recovered, Anthony shares facts that most people don't know about addicts, compulsive behavior, and productive, faith-based recovery. Believing that each one of us is within reach of an addict, Anthony launches his story with serious hope for anyone who is dealing with addiction of any kind--anger, drugs (prescription or otherwise), alcohol, sex, control, simply more of anything--the list is long. These addictions permeate every socioeconomic level and impact everyone and everything around them. The author hopes that his story will encourage and benefit anyone who wholeheartedly seeks long-term recovery--no turning back!

"""This is a powerful and inspiring book. Tony's transparency, attention to detail, and vulnerability throughout is truly incredible. I highly recommend it."" --Anthony Acampora, national director of faith-based services and chaplain, Banyan Treatment Centers ""Oh, what a lovely book this is! Tony's story is full of hometown charm, endearing characters, poignant memories--and the tragedy that befalls broken humanity, no matter how precious life begins. But as you'll see on these pages, when God bends low, pulls us from the ashes, sets our feet in his wide-open spaces, and teaches us who he is and how he loves, tragedy turns into triumph. And life in Tony's words, 'is wonderful.'"" --Dallas and Amanda Jenkins of The Chosen ""In nearly twenty years of addiction recovery ministry, I have seen many transformed lives. If there is one story that stands out above all others, it is this story of Anthony Marakovitz, who, after losing all he had, found strength in the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit to overcome the life-controlling addictions that enslaved him for forty years. That man is my dear friend, a loving husband, a successful businessman, an effective minister, who is helping countless others find the same victory. Simply astounding!"" --Douglas Lidwell, senior pastor, Rosalind Hills Baptist Church"
