Publisher's summary

Living sober in an industry ravaged by addiction...

As a child, Steve Palmer never belonged - not in school, not in his troubled home, not with friends. After his father and grandfather passed away, he was sent to a series of rehabs and halfway houses before ending up on the streets. Drugs and alcohol soon became a way of life.

Eventually, he would go on to a career running some of the country’s most celebrated and innovative fine dining establishments. But first, he had to learn how to be sober in an industry awash with alcohol and drugs. Thanks to coworkers who were able to love him when he couldn’t love himself, Steve got sober. He escaped addiction alive. Many in the industry do not. No other industry has higher rates of alcohol and drug abuse. People are losing careers and families. They’re losing their health. They’re losing their lives.

This is the story of one man who found healing and recovery in the industry that enabled his addiction, and he’s on a quest to help others do the same.

What a life!

This is a mirrored image of an industry and its reflection on its people. Steve is an inspiration to all of us. His life is full of relatable episodes of suffering and joy that let us know that no matter how bad things get, it only takes a hand and our willingness to grab that hand for the transformation to occur.

Beautifully Honest

This story touched me in way that few have. To see the fingerprints of God’s Grace work through so many lives is incredible. The raw truth of addiction isn’t pretty but it’s important. I already admired this man and his company—Now I understand why!

Grace and Hope

This brings realization of substance abuse and addiction that grossly affects the service industry. Helpful for those who struggle with this.
