The buzz word is DUAL DIAGNOSED or DUAL DIAGNOSIS, and the condition (in my case) applies to mental illness with addiction. It is a condition which is tough to identify clinically and a hundred times tougher to treat. The treatment for mental illness is quite different from the treatment for addiction, and it seems that almost no one treats both concurrently. Dual diagnosed individuals may end up wasting years of life in frustration and misery, perhaps even death. Yet my experience with my own dual diagnosis will demonstrate to you that you don't have to spend your life imprisoned by these troublesome and incurable diseases. Time, however, is the enemy as regards treatment, and self-help seems useless. Read the book, BLESSED TO BE BONKERS and explore some of the truths and insights I have employed to manage my dual diagnosis and to find happiness.

To the purchaser of
BLESSED TO BE BONKERS :
This quality, signed, limited printing is my way of compensating you for the somewhat higher cost of first printings.
I'm not a very large organization (only me) and I'm not a business minded guy. Rather, I am a writer.
I've done my best to give you value, and to share a book which is much closer to my heart than "things of the world" should be--if you know what I mean.
It's not a reference book, so it really doesn't need a hard cover. I left five or six typos and format issues in the text that I will correct for future printing, but, perhaps, due to first printing errors your copy may eventually have some value beyond reading. The typos make it unique--right?
The last page of the book, BLESSED TO BE BONKERS, offers you a complimentary bookmark, if you will take some time to email comments or stories to me. Please claim your bookmark, and, in the process, share a little something of you with me after you read the book.
Tell me it made good toilet paper, kindling, or a table leg prop. Say whatever you want, but please take the time to say it.
THANKS, Y'ALL!
