"Self-Inflicted Death Sentence"
by Art Wedmore
A raw, truthful account of addiction and the process of starting recovery with 37 poems over 37 weeks.
Excerpt from the poem "The Devil Inside Me":
"There's a devil inside me, this insidious creep
That lingers there for a taste of her brew.
It's a drug or a drink that she wants in her life
And doesn't care about the things it will do.
She'll take all your life and wrinkle it up,
Twisting and turning you into a state of denial.
She will ruin your life and those that you touch
For your lifetime - not just for awhile."
"Free Booze - CANCELLED!"
by Art Wedmore
A roadmap to success of over 10 years of sobriety with 10 peoms and bonus materials as a guide to success.
Excerpt from the poem "These Shoes Are Made for Walking":
"Each step we take in our daily lives
Moves us forward if we choose.
We can also take two steps backwards
That ensures a new day we will lose.
The choices that we make each day
In the direction that we walk
Are based on how you see your life
As you learn to walk the talk."

About the Author
Art Wedmore was raised in the Midwest but found excitement in traveling the world at an early age. His adventures led him to over 37 countries in his lifetime, coupled with fast times, fast women and lots of booze.
A little over 10 years ago he sobered up, wrote these books on addiction and recovery in poetry and his been interviewed by radio, tv and newspapers over the years for his writing style and his insights into recovery.
His basic philosophy is that we can remember and retain more with poetry using simple rhythm than with standard paragraphs and medical terms.
These books help you grow, understand, inspire, offer hope, guide you, motivate you, value you, and encourage you in becoming the real you one day at a time - minus the empty bottles and drama a life of an alcoholic endures.
They are well worth the few pennies to save a life, offer a way to get out, educate the dangers of drinking and guiding one towards a successful recovery lifestyle, teaching you the value of both time and your self worth.
