Rising Above the Influence: A True Story About Alcohol, Drugs and Recovery
(OAK RIDGE, NJ)—One day following his appearance on One on One with Steve Adubato, Stephen Della Valle, author of Rising Above the Influence: A True Story About Alcohol, Drugs and Recovery will be hosting a book signing at Watchung Booksellers in Montclair, NJ. The signing will take place on June 26 from 7-8pm.
Since the release of his book, Stephen has been featured on syndicate radio as well as had countless articles written him in both national and local newspapers.
In Rising Above the Influence, Stephen candidly recounts his indoctrination into the world of substance abuse as a young teenager; and the desperate, sometimes morbidly comical situations he endured to support his heavy addictions to heroin, prescription drugs, cocaine and alcohol.
Since his commitment to getting sober and turning his life around over twenty years ago, Stephen wants to share his story in hopes people can see how destructive the substance abuse lifestyle is.
“I believe my book can help people who have struggled with addiction or know somebody that have,” says Stephen. “Through the radio and television interviews I can spread awareness of the dangers of substance abuse and serve as living proof that recovery programs work.”
“It is important for people to be educated about the true dangers involved in alcohol and drug abuse,” says Stephen. “If I am able to help just one person through my book then it will be a huge success.”
Stephen’s involvement in recovery goes beyond the writing of his new book. He is also the President of Turning Point Rehabilitation Center in Verona, NJ—a facility that would not even accept him as a patient twenty-five years earlier—where he strives to give others the same chance he was give over twenty years ago.
Rising Above the Influence is Stephen’s honest and inspiring account of the depths one man can fall to—and the heights he can achieve if only he reaches out a hand for help.
Books will be available for sale at Watchung Booksellers the day of the signing, or can be purchased now at www.barnesandnoble.com or www.amazon.com.
