"It could be that these links are the most important part of this website. They are all links to resouces that have been helpful to me at some time in the past. Some of the links will contradict other links, and some of the links only have one or two things that have been helpful to me. No matter. Some links are to well-known people, others are to those who are little known. I think they are all worth exploring, remembering that recovery is a journey and an adventure that only has two rules - let go and be yourself." - Melvyn

At the age of 19 Melvyn was thrown head first through the front window of a car which had just been driven into a lamp-post at speed by a very drunk driver. Melvyn was in uniform and his navy cap saved his head from serious injury (HMS Caesar Geelong 1961). Here is what happened to another 19 year old Melvyn – http://www.crashedlives.com/melvyn
