14 Years Sober. Still Becoming.
Hey, I’m Martin Step — a Czech-born writer living in Ireland, husband, dad, and author of Those Little Steps.
I tell honest stories about addiction, recovery, fatherhood, discipline, and the messy process of rebuilding a life without pretending it’s easy.
The book follows my journey from years of meth addiction, alcohol abuse and gambling into rehab, sobriety, love, fatherhood and the long process of becoming a man who no longer runs from himself.
Those Little Steps is not just another recovery memoir. Nor is it a manual for transformation. It is the inside of one — a raw, darkly funny and brutally honest story about what happens after the chaos, when the drugs stop, the shame stays, and the only way forward is one honest little step at a time.
This book is for you if... you have ever felt stuck, ashamed, lost, or tired of starting over.
It is for anyone rebuilding a life one little step at a time — and anyone who wants a raw, honest story without motivational bullshit, fake miracles, or polished fluff.
