Album Notes

Please Note: This album is a CD-R and comes packaged in a pharmaceutical bag with the artist details shown.

Thirteen Steps to Recovery is an album based on the 12-step recovery program. Being British, I enjoy having a good drink but, as us Brits know, this can quickly degenerate into a legless stupor of sick, loneliness and misery.

We need a prescription to pick ourselves up; we need the 12 step program to make us carry on.

And this album is it. Taken from the artist’s real life journey, the album is an honest look at harm and recovery. Poignant, real-world issues such as domestic violence, sexuality and drugs are all explored from the artist’s own experiences and, unlike us British alcoholics; the picture painted is a sober one. If you asked about my journey you’d only hear about my hazy phone calls to Napoleon and, as far as I remember, he never did have any idea about the fleet off Portsmouth.

But what, you may ask, is the thirteenth step?
