This book includes 18 true stories written by people who suffered from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, food and other addictions. These are extremely moving and inspiring stories about life’s dramas and overcoming them. All the “heroes” were born and raised in the West, where distance from God is especially felt, and people become victims of stress and loneliness. They all have one thing in common: at a certain stage of their lives, having approached the extreme line of hopelessness and in desperation appealing to a Higher Power, they met the great spiritual Teacher Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and this moment was a turning point in their destiny.
