Oak Ridge Press Proudly Announces the Release of Rising Above the Influence: A True Story About Alcohol, Drugs and Recovery
Author Stephen Della Valle of Oak Ridge Press continues to gain exposure with his new book Rising Above the Influence as sales continue to soar.
Oak Ridge, NJ, April 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- As sales continue to climb for the newly released book Rising Above the Influence: A True Story About Alcohol, Drugs and Recovery, author Stephen Della Valle is persistent with his efforts to market the highly anticipated inspirational story.
Since the book has become available for purchase Stephen has already accepted several offers for radio interviews which will be aired in upcoming weeks, and talks are in progress regarding book signings.
“The book couldn’t have been released at a better time,” says Stephen. “It’s important for people to realize the true dangers of alcohol and drug abuse, and my goal is that people will gain hope and inspiration from my book.”
Stephen’s new book is about his personal battle with drugs and alcohol, and the long dark road addiction took him down. In Rising Above the Influence, he candidly recounts his indoctrination into the world of substance abuse as a young teenager; and the desperate, sometimes morbidly comical situations he endured to support his heavy addictions to heroin, prescription drugs, cocaine and alcohol.
Kirkus Discoveries had the following to say about Rising Above the Influence—A memoir of a recovering substance abuser; a downward spiral of narcotics, robberies, street-fighting, jail time…the story is relentless…told with passion and conviction.”
Since his commitment to getting sober and turning his life around over twenty years ago, Stephen wants to share his story in hopes people can see how destructive the substance abuse lifestyle is.
“I had to learn the hard way, but in a way I am grateful for everything that happened because it has all led to the amazing life I live today,” Stephen states. “If my book can inspire one person to change his lifestyle, or help out the family members of an addict, then I have succeeded.”
Rising Above the Influence is his honest and inspiring account of the depths one man can fall to—and the heights he can achieve if only he reaches out a hand for help.
