Having started my psychiatric journey in 1981 with a diagnoses of schizophrenia, a diagnoses that I gave up in 1991 on the road to a personal recovery. At the age of 59 my wife Karen and my kids noticed that my memory was letting me down. I was leaving gas rings on and would sometimes be found in the kitchen staring into space with no idea why I was there. My ability with numbers has also diminished and my decision making is not as good as it has been. This book is then part of my refusal to give in and to try to stave the passage of time and memory. This is my King Canute time my chance to beat the odds. This is the time to let my own voices both internal and external become even more part of who I am. I hope you find this book entertaining, and challenging my voices certainly do.
