About this listen

A Life of Recovery: Breaking the Chains of Addiction is a powerful and deeply personal memoir by Woody Giessmann, musician-turned-addiction specialist, who takes you on a raw, emotional journey from chaos and substance abuse to healing and hope. This inspirational story blends compelling autobiography with practical tools for families affected by addiction and untreated mental illness.

From losing his brother to addiction and suicide, to his own spiral through alcohol and drugs while performing with a major rock band, Woody's story is brutally honest and painfully relatable. His transformation into a licensed counselor and interventionist shows how recovery is possible, even in the darkest moments.

Part memoir, part recovery guide, this book is an essential listen for families looking to break generational cycles of trauma, shame, and denial. It offers real-world solutions, evidence-based tools, and emotional insights to help parents, spouses, and loved ones reclaim peace of mind, establish healthy boundaries, and support lasting recovery.

Whether you're facing addiction in your home or searching for trauma-informed recovery strategies, A Life of Recovery delivers compassion, clarity, and hope.
