Max Wallis faced a personal crisis that led him to leave his London home in distress. After an intervention and a safe return, discussions uncovered his creative outlet: a poetry magazine inspired by his struggles with addiction. Wallis experienced a significant loss of personal time and sought recovery, diagnosed with ADHD and complex PTSD. His journey involved reestablishing connections and gradually rebuilding his life while channeling his experiences into his poetry craft, ultimately finding meaning amidst chaos.

The first imperative was to become clean and sober. He was diagnosed with ADHD and complex PTSD, and gradually rebuilt his life.
