Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOW A MAJOR FILM, STARRING STEVE CARELL AND BAFTA AND GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATED TIMOTHEE CHALAMET ‘It was like being in a car with the gas pedal slammed down to the floor and nothing to do but hold on and pretend to have some semblance of control. But control was something I'd lost a long time ago.’ Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age 11. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer to convince him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. He paints an extraordinary picture for us of a person at odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself. Tweak is a raw, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful tale of the road from relapse to recovery and complements his father’s parallel memoir, Beautiful Boy. Praise for Nic Sheff:- ‘Difficult to read and impossible to put down.’Chicago Tribune 'Nic Sheff's wrenching tale is told with electrifying honesty and insight.' Armistead Maupin

Download or read book Lived Experience Lifelong Learning Community Activism and Social Change written by Sharon Clancy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and celebrates the learning adult educators can gain from the numerous sites of community activism, learning, and social change that are currently taking place across the globe. While the relentless push of neoliberalism has struck at the heart of adult education provision in many countries, including that provided by universities, institutions of further education, international development agencies, NGOs, vocational training centres and the local government sector, what can adult educators learn and what is being learnt when we turn to sites of community activism as a mechanism for broader social change? Drawing on empirical research, as well as stories and blogs about social change and transformation from those participating in community activist struggles, this book features diverse contributions from adult education practitioners, theorists and activist-researchers who share community activist practices from around the world and provide insight into the ways these have contributed to social change and political transformation in different spaces and communities. Each chapter and blog in this collection relate to different dimensions of community, democracy and dialogue and how this space has become one in which delimiting factors must constantly be fought. In these contributions, questions of critical pedagogy and voice, and contested notions of power, place and voice, are lived, felt and troubled in different national and international contexts. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in the Education of Adults.

Download or read book Sacred Journeys written by Stanley Scott Jr and published by Bysscott.org. This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I stood on the deck of my San Francisco home, gazing out at the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, I felt a stirring in my soul. The rhythmic crashing of waves against the shore seemed to whisper ancient secrets, calling me to lands unknown. It was in this moment that I realized my journey—a journey of spiritual discovery and personal growth—was about to begin. For years, I had been deeply involved in my work with the ILWU Local 10, fighting for workers' rights and striving to make a difference in my community. But there was another battle I had been fighting, one that had nearly cost me everything: the battle against addiction. In 2011, I found my way into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, marking the beginning of a transformative journey in recovery. Now, three years into my sobriety, I felt a calling to expand my horizons, to seek out new experiences that would deepen my spiritual understanding and strengthen my recovery. The idea of traveling to distant lands, not as an escape but as a pilgrimage of sorts, began to take root in my mind. It was then that I remembered the words of the great Maya Angelou: "Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends." These words resonated deeply within me, igniting a spark of curiosity and wonder that would lead me on an incredible journey across four continents. My path would take me to four distinct destinations, each with its own unique energy and spiritual significance: 1. Cancun and Chichén Itzá, Mexico - where ancient Mayan wisdom echoes through time 2. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic - where Caribbean rhythms pulse with resilience 3. Durban, South Africa - where unity flourishes in diversity 4. Honolulu, Hawaii - where the Aloha spirit embodies harmony with nature Little did I know that these four places, seemingly unconnected, would weave together a fabric of spiritual awakening and personal transformation. Each destination would offer its own lessons, its own challenges, and its own moments of profound insight. As I embarked on this journey, I carried with me the strength and values instilled in me by my parents, my experiences in the labor movement, and the spiritual principles I had learned in recovery. I was about to discover how these foundations would be tested, reinforced, and expanded through my encounters with ancient civilizations, diverse cultures, and the awe-inspiring power of nature. This book is not just a travelogue, but a testament to the transformative power of travel when undertaken with an open heart and a seeking spirit. It's an exploration of how God's handiwork is manifested in different corners of the world, and how the resilience of people across cultures can inspire us to push forward in our own lives and recovery journeys. Throughout these travels, I would find myself drawn to moments of prayer and meditation, often near bodies of water. From the beaches of Cancun to the Indian Ocean in Durban, from the Caribbean shores of Punta Cana to the Pacific waters of Hawaii, these moments of spiritual connection would become cornerstones of my journey, deepening my conscious contact with my Higher Power and reinforcing my commitment to recovery. As we set off on this journey together, I invite you to open your mind to the possibilities that lie ahead. For in the story of my travels, you may find echoes of your own spiritual journey, your own quest for meaning, and your own path to personal growth and recovery. Let us begin our sacred journey, stepping into the unknown with faith, curiosity, and a willingness to be transformed by the wonders that await us. Whether you're in recovery yourself, curious about different cultures, or simply seeking inspiration, I hope that my experiences will offer you insight, hope, and the courage to embark on your own journey of discovery. Remember, as we say in the rooms of recovery, "More will be revealed." So let's turn the page and see where this adventure takes us, one day at a time.
