February 2011 On December the 17th 2010 Tarek el-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi, a young street vendor from Tunisia, was so disheartened by The System that he took his own life, by setting himself on fire. I am witnessing the collective few become and overcome the collective many. A changing tide of humanity is sweeping across a region that will affect not only that region but the rest of the world also. How? I have my theories, but let the future answer that, and then let history question it. My story is also of change. I wanted to change the person I had become; a tormented alcohol and drug addict. Following a phone call to my father, my story continues on from my last book, Two Years: in the mind of a recovering alcoholic, from the last few months in prison to coming home, exploring and putting into practice all of those thoughts and insights I was having about life, the universe and how to live and get fulfilment from it. This has led me to become a better father and partner, an existence away from the turmoil and stress, a state of mind free of the demons that had troubled me for a lifetime. This has led to a platform of contentment, a budding sense of inner peace from where I can progress even further. This story is about how I initially created this new life through choices I had made with the help of the unknown-to some- and unexplored forces around us. So what more could I possibly give to my future generations than the key to how it all became so, the way of life, in A Message to my Family: Believe In Yourself.
