Surviving Self-Inflicted Wounds: A Deputy’s Life of Redemption

What happens when you're the threat?

Sergeant John Kelly discovered during his thirty-year career in law enforcement that the biggest threat to his own survival wasn't the multiple attempts on his life, but came from within. When facing external dangers, risks are mitigated, intelligence is gathered, and a plan is devised to address the threat. But when everyone turns to you for answers, and there's nothing left but pain and despair, sometimes heroes need help! This realization led John to develop a program that empowers individuals to address their personal, professional, financial, physical, and mental health.

Through a series of life experiences, John addresses the real issues and threats facing those in the law-enforcement profession. An alcoholic, addict, and adulterer, John tears open his life to expose the man for all his faults and shortcomings. Through the story of his life's journey, difficult topics are examined and discussed, such as relationships, addiction, PTSD, and suicide.

Although written based on John's time in the law enforcement profession, the lessons and life struggles are universal in nature. You can't be there for others if you're not there for yourself; you have to make yourself a priority. There's no world that exists that is better off without you in it! You can survive self-inflicted wounds; let John Kelly show you how.
