"I never planned to get arrested.

Sure, I'd never had it easy. I'd been through a lot-I'd grown up in a cult, overcome drug addiction, lost loved ones, and had a baby at the ripe old age of 18-but at 34 years old, I thought I'd figured things out.

It was only once I was in the back of a squad car that I realized I'd been balanced on the edge of disaster for years. I knew how to survive, but not how to thrive. I loved my family, but dysfunction has taken over. Essentially, I was a mess.

This is the true story of how, through the 52-week anger management course, I examined the life events that had tangled me up into such a knot. How I picked the threads apart, gave each one a long look, and then wove myself back into something beautiful. This is the story of how I-for the sake of myself and my family, and against all odds-learned to truly thrive."
