I will walk you through the icy halls of drug addiction and dealing, college in Santa Barbara (specifically Isla Vista), depression, suicide, and overdoses.

Please come with me through the very real and honest look at what it was like to be a young man in the 2010s and how through a million close calls, I finally found life.

    As Melissa Bond raises her infant daughter and one-year-old son, she suffers from unbearable insomnia, sleeping an hour or less each night. She loses her job as a journalist (a casualty of the 2008 recession), and her relationship with her husband grows distant. Her doctor casually prescribes benzodiazepines and increases her dosage on a regular basis. Following her doctor’s orders, Melissa takes the pills night after night; her body begins to shut down and she collapses while holding her daughter. Only then does Melissa learn that her doctor has over-prescribed the medication.

    Dying to Live is the captivating true story of Bryn Elliott, whose life was marked by trauma, abuse, addiction, rape, rebellion, and the tragic murder of her older sister, Abbe. Once hopeless, alone, and wishing for death, Bryn candidly shares her journey of overcoming the enemy to experience a life transformed by the Savior. Where drugs had been Bryn’s only source of comfort, leading to further self-destruction, God’s constant pursuit slowly began to take hold. After years confused by lies that she was broken and her life irredeemable, God rescued Bryn from darkness.

    Addiction is a difficult and painful road, and to love an addict is to try and maneuver that road without ever having learned how to drive. For the codependent, loving an addict is going 100 miles an hour without a seatbelt. As loved ones of addicts, the more we can understand addiction and codependency and how the two impact each other in personal relationships, the better able we will be to recognize what we need to do, both for ourselves and for the addicts in our lives.

    Richie Stephens is an actor who often plays hardened gangsters and criminals. This is easy for him because he was a drug trafficker, kidnapper, drug addict, alcoholic, and all-around criminal himself. His life twisted and turned in harrowing self-destructive adventures that took him from his native Ireland to San Francisco, Australia, and finally, Los Angeles, coalescing into a classic tale of a man trying to run from his problems by moving to new and more exotic locations—a hard and painful realization that comes at a point in which he’s about to take his own life.
