Rahul Verma’s debut book By Choice and Not By Chance is a powerful memoir that captures his inspiring story of surviving varied addictions and embracing the path of spirituality. With sheer honesty and authenticity, he opens up about his physical, mental and emotional challenges which hindered his personal growth. The book offers a nuanced take on addiction by exploring it from a physiological, emotional and psychological lens. It is an attempt to offer direction to anyone who wants to embark on a journey of recovery.
Rahul’s addiction began through food that initially took over his life. The situation went so out of control that due to his obesity, he was advised to undergo surgery. The operation didn’t bring about a shift in Rahul’s mindset as he found his second addiction- alcohol. For a while, he juggled his professional and family commitments but excessive drinking impacted his personal life immensely. It is at that point that he decided to take control of his life and sought professional help by joining a rehabilitation center. That was the most defining moment of his life as it opened his mind. He tapped into his inner reserves of courage and strength to successfully overcome all the hurdles and come out of the other side.
