The Becoming Whole Series explores addiction, recovery, fatherhood, accountability, and the difficult work of building a meaningful life after survival.
Book One – Olive Oil
A memoir of addiction, survival, and the second chance that changed everything.
Olive Oil is a raw memoir about alcoholism, fatherhood, collapse, and the moment a six-year-old daughter helped her father confront the life he was destroying. It traces the consequences of addiction and the second chance that made recovery possible.
“David captures the nuances of the recovery journey with such clarity and heart.”
— Debjani, Amazon reviewer
Book Two – Living After
A Memoir of Recovery, Fatherhood, and Finding Meaning in the Ordinary.
Living After begins where survival ends. It explores the emotional reckoning, damaged relationships, amends, loneliness, and daily work required to build a meaningful life in recovery.
What Comes Next
Future books in the series will explore parenting in recovery, life in sober housing, and the long-term work of becoming whole.
