May’s Mental Health Awareness Month begins in grand fashion with an incredible story of overcoming drug addiction. Ed shares vulnerably his epic struggles with a 4-year meth psychosis of extreme paranoia and how he reconciled his mental health challenges, leading him to a path of spirituality, self-improvement, and selfless service to others. Ed authored a profoundly poignant and relevant book chronicling his life’s journey and overcoming, illuminating the dogged pursuit and ceaseless dreams to be a writer. Bravo!
