Recklessly Alive

What My Suicide Attempt Taught Me About God and Living Life to the Fullest

By: Sam Eaton

Narrated by: Sam Eaton

You deserve to stop suffering and create a life that is fully and recklessly alive.

Every 12.3 minutes someone completes suicide, and I was almost one of them. I had written letters, picked a day, and packed up all my belongings because I believed my life was worthless and disposable. What lies ahead of you is my journey from suicide attempt toward abundant life. I share it with you in hopes that you can see yourself or someone you love in my story and find the courage to start conversations about faith, mental health, depression, and suicide.

I am not a pastor, a deep-sea diver, an Avenger, or a mongoose whisperer. I have never sawed off my own arm, had my hand digested by a shark, or experienced any other amazing feat of humanity. I am just an average guy who found his world slipping away and—in a moment of extreme clarity—made the terrifying decision to stay and chase a life that is fully and recklessly alive.

This audiobook is for anyone who:

Feels stuck, hopeless and alone.

Struggles with finding their purpose or wanting to be alive.

Loves someone who battles mental health, depression, or suicidal thoughts.

Wants to understand warning signs of suicide and how to help Desires to feel more fully and recklessly alive

In our darkest hours God is always with us and always has a plan for good in our lives. Thank you Sam for truly putting yourself out there. I wish there was a Sam 50 years ago when I lost my sister. ♥️🙏
