On this Memorial Day we pause and solemnly give thanks to those who fell in service to the country and to the world! Here at Walnut Street Publishing, we believe in being a space where veterans can tell their story.

It was a tremendous privilege to publish one such veteran, Rick Gehrke. In honor of him, we want to tell everyone a simple message from his book (which you can find below): Remember to Forgive Yourself.

I’ve put together a collection of anecdotes and advice based on hard-won lessons about alcohol, triggers for over-drinking, building better habits, and success in life. If you think you might benefit from drinking less, this book is for you. Want to drop a subtle hint for a friend who’s overdoing it? Leave a copy out on the coffee table or drop it on their desk. I’m sharing parts of my personal story here to give you some context for the book, and to let you know that whatever problems you’re facing, whatever you’ve been through, you’re not alone!
