Born to addicted parents whose abuse drove his older sisters out of the home while he was still young, John Beyer became a lost teenager plagued by binge drinking, criminal activity, and emotional instability. At a tender age he had already endured life's most stressful experiences—death, divorce, illness and moving. After years of self-destruction, a near-fatal car crash, and the deaths of close friends and family—he hit rock bottom. A months-long bender led him to seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous, marking the beginning of his sobriety journey. With the support of his longtime partner Amy and a dedicated therapist, he began rebuilding his life, eventually founding Men on the Move, a top moving and storage company on the East Coast. His son Gregory was then diagnosed with autism. His story is a candid, inspiring memoir for anyone who has faced addiction, family dysfunction or life altering adversity. It proves you can come through it stronger and with purpose and hope.
