Hi Again Johnny,I wanted to tell others about my 86 year old Mum and I reading your book in 1 night, ( well about 10 pages the next morning, as so tired!)I read it out loud to her and she would not let me put it down! Loved it! and needed to know how you managed to sort it all out!Your book is so relevant for so many of us in all sorts of ways, and your writing of it is so funny in parts you forget the seriousness of alot of the situations you were in. I think we all have our addictions, some not so life threatening as yours, so we get by muddling along and never finding out the solution to them, well I think your book, and What you have Found is the Only Solution, (of myself I can do nothing), and commend you for sharing your story with us, as I said on the phone, we all have a God Shaped hole that can not be filled with any amount of food, drugs, drink or shopping!when we realize that, and go for God, Miracles can happen as they have for you and me.
I feel you have really helped my Mum to understand there is far more to this than she first thought, and at her age I am thrilled, so Thank you for sharing I am thrilled to know you.
Love Dee

Hi Johnny, i dont know if you would remember me or not, you had some fitness equipment delivered by fitness options, a cross trainer if my memory serves me right, well i was the younger of the 3 of the installation team that delivered and installed it. i remember you telling us parts of your story when we were at your house, you then gave us a book each, i dont think the other two read theres but i took mine on holiday to the canaries and have to say from the first page i was completely gripped, my girlfriend could even prise me away lol. Whilst reading it, it always like anger inside that builds up, i felt like talking to the book and saying why john why lol, so many opportunities. there were so many fantastically funny parts of the book, especially where god told you to talk to your pills, i was in stitches. i just want to applaud you for so many things, firstly for an amazing insight into your past, secondly for putting this down into words and thirdly and most importantly for walking into that light that so many dont see.

thank you once again for the book that you so gladly signed for us all but mostly for mine.
good luck with your future as i believe you are doing an amazing job and to all that helped you with this fantastic book, congratulations.

Rick
