About Me
About The Author
My name is Norbert Rafał Grenda, I am 37 years old, and I was born in Poland. Going through my life I needed to face many difficulties starting in my childhood. I`m from a broken family and I was struggling with serious asthma since a young age.
As a teenager and young man, I went through addiction, homelessness and mental health problems. I was treated in hospital for injuries such a broken nose and cheekbone as I was getting into troubles due to drug and alcohol abuse
During that time, I was close to death several times and eventually became type 1 diabetic.
Lucky for me, I found place in rehabilitation in 2020 thanks to good people I`ve met during homelessness.
As I was homeless, I’ve been reading a lot of books which always helped me focus my mind.
Then I continued reading since I became sober, and I started to be fascinated by authors, their imagination and stories they were able to create.
Eventually I started to wonder if I have what it takes to create a book of my own.
After 15 years in addiction and now 5 years in sobriety I finally can manage my life, and I did finish my first book which I`ve started 3 years ago.
I would like to dedicate these words to all addicts and people with mental health issues out there – Don`t give up! Always think of positives.
If I could do it you can do it as well, all the best!

Special thanks to “Kairos community trust” for taking me under their roof, “Nacro” for helping me live a sober life, and most of all to Mr. Michael Gabriel, a social worker, thanks to whom my treatment could become a reality.
