Derek Steele author of "Addict at 10" / Jan 8, 2010
Derek Steele is a dynamic speaker and author whose story offers a powerful lesson in overcoming addiction and finding fulfillment. He came to the American dream the hard way — by surviving a nightmarish youth. Derek was spiraling through a violent underworld of drugs, alcohol and homelessness.
Addict at 10 is an amazing story of one man’s miraculous journey of transformation. It is a gripping account of how Derek overcame pain, hopelessness and substance abuse to find faith, purpose and fulfillment in life. Derek’s book is a wonderful example of how God leads us to His grace and how, with the right tools, guidance, and dedication, anyone who is willing and open to His will can overcome adversity.

Tom Moran / Recording Artist in Recovery / Jan 15, 2010

Teach society to make changes in the world,” he passionately tells his growing audience in one of his songs. A physical education teacher by day, Moran, of Canarsie, embarked on a second career as a singer and songwriter because “you got to be crazy and have a little touch on how to express yourself freely,” he said in a sit-down with Bay currents “ Music is life and love.

Interview with Jack Sinclair and Staff / Feb 12, 2010
"TWELVE" is the honest, first person testimonial of surviving those years, and for many, surviving the subsequent years of a misunderstood and debilitating substance abuse battle.
“TWELVE” is an emotional, honest and straightforward single story comparing the similarities and problems of so many teens and young adults who firmly believe the life problems and situations they face are theirs and theirs alone where “No one understood” and “No one cared”. Eventually the feelings of, “I was so alone that I just wanted to die” are the only solution.
But “TWELVE” shows how they are not alone. It shares deeper discoveries by these individuals who learned how they are in fact not different from others at their age, that they are like all of the other young people who struggle with this disease and that recovery is indeed possible.
Interview with Bruce H / Mar 19 and 26, 2010
What Religion Couldn't Do, God Has Accomplished.

The truth is that we are powerless over our separation from God and that our lives have become unmanageable.
If our sobriety is contingent upon our spiritual condition we must come to understand what that spiritual condition is.
