The greatest thing we can survive is ourselves and the weight we give to our memories.Michael learned early that love and violence could live beneath the same roof. As childhood trauma gave way to sex, drugs, alcoholism, and broken relationships, he spent years trying to silence his memories and become someone who felt normal. Instead, every attempt to escape pulled him deeper into addiction and closer to losing everything.God Made Butterflies for Me is a raw and unflinching addiction recovery memoir about the people Michael hurt, the people who saved him, and the battle to survive the one person he could never outrun: himself.With startling honesty, Michael recounts a life shaped by substance abuse, family dysfunction, destructive choices, and moments of unexpected grace. His journey ultimately leads to a spiritual awakening and the realization that recovery requires more than putting down drugs and alcohol. It requires confronting the pain, shame, resentment, and ego that made escaping reality feel necessary.This is not a story about a perfect recovery. It is the true story of a broken man discovering that transformation was still possible.Written for people living with addiction, those working toward sobriety, families affected by alcoholism and substance abuse, and anyone searching for hope after trauma, God Made Butterflies for Me reveals how even a deeply damaged life can become something new.No matter how far you have fallen, your story may not be over.
