Tattoos: My Gateway Drug / Surviving The Perfect Storm Of Addiction

The Title and Story of this book depicts the telling of Cody Lanus' personal story, of the recognition of his addictive tenancies. When seen by him in hindsight, he realized they began when he first ventured into some addictive behavior while chasing his very first tattoo. He reveals where he was physically, relationally, emotionally, and spiritually throughout the journey of his tattoos. Cody tells his story with the hope of helping others, quite possibly yourself or a loved one, find not only the beginning, but the middle, and most importantly, the end to the most personal debilitating addictions. With the hope and belief that one day soon the reader will hear from their own lips or from those of a loved one, the same truth that came from Cody's, "I Survived The Perfect Storm Of Addiction."
