For an addict, perhaps the only thing more challenging than deciding to sober up is the struggle to stay that way. Ronnie was trapped in the clutches of his addiction to drugs and alcohol for years before he chose to get clean, but little did he know sobriety brought an even steeper mountain to climb, the summit of which is recovery.In Misunderstood, Ronnie details his fight to stay sober. Highs and lows-from the birth of a daughter to the death of his grandmother-color his journey and at times threaten his resolve. But with the help of AA, a strong support network, and steadfast determination, Ronnie is able to embrace recovery and reach out to help others do the same. Misunderstood seeks to empower those fighting addiction with the promise that recovery is possible-a complicated, imperfect path with a worthy end. Ronnie offers no quick fixes, no magic bullet to emerge from the depths of addiction easily. But he makes clear that anyone can do it with enough motivation, whatever that factor may be.
