A Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing a Family Legacy

Beschreibung

Can we ever truly escape the legacy of our past? In Shadows of Sobriety, Keith Burton pulls back the curtain on his journey through a childhood marked by alcoholism, family dysfunction, and emotional scars that lasted a lifetime. Raised in a household where love was often confused with pain, Keith reflects on his relationships with an alcoholic father and a controlling mother, and how their struggles set the stage for his own battles with identity, faith, and a fractured family legacy. With searing honesty, Keith revisits the pivotal moments that defined his path. He details the steps he took to confront the trauma that haunted him and his family, and how he eventually found healing through his faith in Christ, his wife's unwavering support, and deep self-reflection. Shadows of Sobriety is not just the story of one man's recovery-it's an encouraging guide for anyone yearning to reclaim their life from the shadows of past wounds. This inspiring memoir explores the lifelong effects of growing up in a dysfunctional family, while providing hope that no matter the circumstances, healing is always possible.
