Memories, Memoirs & Miracles

One man's story of recovery from addiction, while growing up in central and shoreline Connecticut in the early 1960s.

The journey of George Gdovin's life, as remembered in this collection of true stories, provides a telling history of a man who survived near-death at birth only to suffer for two decades in early adulthood with crippling alcohol and drug addiction.

After losing the love of his first wife-and his sons for a time-because of addiction, a light eventually shined when caring people awoke a spiritually lost man and steered him into the miracle of recovery in his early forties.

The story of Gdovin's life-as told in his own words-about growing up in central and shoreline Connecticut in the early-1960s as part of a close-knit Italian American family, becoming a Printer's Devil and then a master draftsman-while riding motorcycles on weekends from one Connecticut bar to another with his "posse"-are just some of the entertaining and informative chapters in this book.

Thanks to the miracles that touched George Gdovin through the years, he could maintain sobriety and use that recovery process to help others in prisons and AA groups for over three decades. He also established a decorated 35-year career as a licensed municipal Building Official, met and married his spiritual equal, and helped save a historical lighthouse in Guilford, Connecticut.
