Description
t’s an Inside Job Kid" is the newly updated and revised edition of the previously titled book "Time to Go."
It was written for and is dedicated to those who struggle with trauma, mental illness, and substance abuse; and for their loved ones who struggle to understand and support them. Like so many others who learned to cope with their traumas through alcohol, drugs or sex—and doing whatever else it took to forget and fit in—Steve Moffe was no different.
At the age of twenty-one he began a career in the New York State Department of Corrections. After nineteen years of working as an officer he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD. The details of his experiences from those years include being admitted to substance abuse rehabs, and mental health facilities.
He credits his recovery to the members of AA, the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, the many caring people who supported him along the way—and two powerful yet inexplicable events that appeared to have interceded on his behalf; a power greater than himself.
Steve’s story will certainly be an inspiration for others to never give up, and to recognize the resilience that lies within each of us.
