Full Circle
A Memoir of Addiction, Fatherhood, and the Second Chance I Never Deserved
by Jeff Bowers
Jeff Bowers took his first drink at thirteen. What followed was a slow, relentless descent into addiction-alcohol, pills, cocaine, meth, and eventually complete collapse. Along the way, he lost trust, relationships, and nearly his life, pushing away the people who mattered most, including his young son.
By 2014, Jeff was broken, and out of options. Faced with a choice to keep running or finally surrender, he chose a different path.
Full Circle is a raw, unfiltered memoir of addiction and recovery, told without excuses or sugarcoating. Through faith, accountability, and the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, Jeff begins the hard work of rebuilding-his sobriety, his family, and his purpose.
This is not just a story about getting sober. It's about becoming a father worth following, a man willing to face his past, and a life rebuilt from the ground up.
Written with honesty, humility, and hope, Full Circle was born from an unexpected realization. After being named Outstanding Alumnus of the Year and standing at a high school graduation podium to tell his story, Jeff found himself weeks later sharing that same truth in a rehab room. The contrast-between where his life had been and where it had come-made one thing clear: the story didn't belong to one room or one audience.
This book is for anyone who has fallen, anyone searching for redemption, and anyone who believes second chances are possible-even when they feel undeserved.
