NEW AUTHOR at INDIE BOOK SOURCE Meet Author Ray Lewis http://carternovels.com/author-ray-lewis.html Ray A. Lewis was born in Detroit, MI. Brought up in an extended family, Ray learned to cook, clean, wash, sew and whatever it took to be independent. Those survival skills proved to be advantageous to Ray, considering he spent most of his adult life living alone. Ray began drinking at the age of 15 and not long afterward started to experiment with drugs. Being brought up in Detroit, it was not difficult for Ray to maintain access to extra-curricular personal vacations. He called those vacations "Going to another state", meaning another state of mind. His drinking and drug use were merely recreational and was never in trouble with the law as a result of his street research. From his senior year in high school, to his Navy days and throughout early adulthood, Ray's drinking continued to escalate. Alcohol addiction became a part of Ray's young life and caused him to enter many treatment centers and into three hospitals at death's door. Surprisingly, during mid-life, Ray experienced a turnaround in his life. While many consider it personal strength, Ray insists that this was beyond his control. Whatever the case, since December, 1999, he has not had the need to pick up a drink or drug. Still, Ray contends that he is not immune to his addiction. Although he does not currently struggle with triggers, he is very well aware that should he dare to pick up even one drink, he will be transformed back to the old self, the addicted, and probable victim of death due to alcohol. .
