Finding yourself
Choosing sobriety and self-loyalty over the toxic cycle of a broken marriage
- Non-Fiction
- Romance
Four years of hard-won sobriety. A career built on helping others find their footing. A life reclaimed from the ashes. Evelyn Reed thought she was ready for her husband’s return from prison. She believed their marriage could be the final piece of her recovery puzzle. But when Christopher Vance walks through the door, he doesn’t bring the man she missed; he brings a hurricane of narcissism, drug use, and betrayal. Finding Yourself is a raw, unflinching look into the private journals of a woman pushed to her breaking point. As Chris descends back into a world of street-running and gaslighting, Evelyn is forced to confront a devastating truth: you cannot save a man who is comfortable being lost. With her license as a peer support specialist and her own sanity on the line, she must navigate the gut-wrenching transition from trying to fix her marriage to 'training' herself to survive without it. This is not just a story of infidelity; it is a powerful manifesto on the necessity of self-loyalty. Evelyn’s intimate entries capture the numb recognition of betrayal and the fierce spark of a woman deciding that her peace is worth more than a vow to a shadow. Discover what happens when the urge for revenge transforms into the courage to simply disappear.
