Becoming Normal

An Ever Changing Perspective
Author: Mark Edick

Becoming Normal is a marvelous study of self, but more importantly, of the reality in which we view ourselves and in which society sees us.

Coming to terms with normality, for Mark Edick, meant coming to grips with the addiction that defined his life and his perception of reality, and getting into recovery.   It meant understanding that comparing himself to others, being afraid, and thinking of himself in terms of “Us vs.  Them” created artificial boundaries that again redefined normality in ways that diminished his sense of self and belonging.

Through one man’s logical discovery and his recovery, we come to see and think of ourselves differently.   While this is one man’s illuminating story, it is also the story of millions of us.
