Why Tin Man

You can look fine and still be falling apart.

For years, my ego was my armour. Much like the Tin Man, I built a hard exterior and convinced myself that having no heart made me stronger. I was the fuckboy, the party boy, the bloke who could hurt people and hide behind confidence while avoiding what was really underneath it all.

Then sobriety changed me.

Getting sober wasn’t just about putting down cocaine. It was about taking off the armour. I had to drop the ego, become vulnerable, learn empathy and finally allow myself to feel everything I’d spent years running from.

The Tin Man had his armour and went searching for a heart. Through sobriety, I found mine.

Not just a read

Step oneAdmit the truth

What have you been telling yourself is under control?

Write it down. Nobody else is reading this page.

I told myself it was just weekends.
Then Thursdays didn't really count.
Everyone around me was doing it too.

Eight steps. Your pen. Your turn.

This isn’t a book you just read. Between chapters are fill-in pages that walk you through the same eight steps that got me sober, so the story becomes your starting point.

Who it's for

This book is for you if

You’re quietly wondering if your drinking or partying has gone too far.

You’re sober, or trying to be, and want someone who gets it.

You love someone who’s struggling and don’t know what to look for.

You’re done pretending everything’s fine.

You know your partner is struggling, but they don’t think they have a problem.

To addiction

“You nearly killed me, but in doing so, you forced me to learn how to live. I hate you, but I love the man I became because I survived you.”

From Tin Man
