An honest, raw look at love, loss, addiction, and active recovery, proving to be a

transformative narrative that reorients the reader to reality, and energizes the continuing

discussion on what it means to lose everything held dear.


This is a man’s 1 year internal conversation with the reader about loss of family and friends,

divorce, medical issues, while clawing and scraping his way to liberation, back into AA and

redemption.


The warped logic of addiction extends beyond the addict, making all others in its wake

either capitulate to the disease, or discard the sufferer. In a widening circle of pain, false

hierarchies are built, human value is questioned, intersecting with what it means to be

alive.


Many tears have been shed in the writing of this book of poems, and not just by the author

- dark paths followed, hospital stays, depression episodes, self-loathing. The path, though,

becomes liberating, providing new ways of thinking about our lives and each other as

human beings.

Jonathan Grimes grew up in Troy, Ohio, the first son (and twin)

of an engineer and high school teacher. He played collegiate

Soccer, while studying Psychology at a small college in

Indiana, but unfortunately developed a serious alcohol and

drug problem and never finished his schooling.


While working in restaurant jobs, Jonathan met his future

wife, Allison, in Columbus, Ohio and has lived in many of its

charming neighborhoods. He eventually moved into various

Information Technology roles over the last twenty years, and

has had the unique opportunity to work for several Fortune

50 companies in Cybersecurity, Fraud Management, Program

Management, and Data Analytics.


Being blessed with two children, Ava and Max, has been his greatest joy, and brings him

the most hope for the future and our world. Currently in active recovery through AA, he’s

also interested in reading, painting, and Tibetan Buddhism.
