It would be quite impossible to list all the people who have helped me to write Steve: Unwanted. However, I feel I must mention Dr Alex Callum, who was instrumental in affording me the opportunity to turn my life around, and Dr Bertram Mandelbrote for allowing me entrance into the Ley Community. Ultimately, these two men saved my life.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Ley Community in assisting me with my recovery. Many people have touched my life; those residents and staff who were on the programme when I went through it and those who have been through the programme since I became a staff member. They are all very special people and have made me the man I am today.
It goes without saying that I could not have written this book without Bev Smith and Wendy Dawson. I thank them for all their hard work and patience in helping me, keeping me on track and generally keeping me in order!
