About

BiographyEnglish:Who is Percy Gagnon?Hello, my name is Percy Gagnon.I was born in Canada in the 1940′s in a small logging village in Western Quebec. These were poor times. We didn't even have electrical grids in rural areas. At this time, alcohol was part of many people's lives.At the age of twenty, I was recruited as a police officer with the Sûreté du Québec and was stationed in the Quebec area, about 600 miles from home.I became a secret agent. My mission was to identify the members of a band of bank robbers.Having become a criminal investigator, I worked alongside murderers and armed robbers for about fifteen years, often dealing with prostitutes as informants.Very quickly, I fell into a hellish life created by the daily consumption of alcohol, drugs, and barbiturates.In an effort to separate myself from my addictions, I quit my job, which I believed to be the cause, and instead pursued a career in real estate.As money became more accessible, my consumption of alcohol, drugs, and sleeping pills, worsened.After trying repeatedly but unsuccessfully, to rescue myself from this hellish life, I finally found the right recipe in 1982 during my twenty-eight days at Hazelden Rehabilitation Center in Center City, Minnesota, USA.Now I want to share this recipe with those who suffer from this disease, the same recipe that has allowed me to free myself from my addiction and resume the normal course of my life.In my book, A Bodyguard for My Soul: The Solution, I talk about how the disease of addiction developed in close relationship with my emotional system, from infancy to maturity.In my case, it was first the discovery of nicotine and alcohol that later led me to try cocaine and sleeping pills.All those dependencies settled very quickly and took total control of my life for over thirty years until the day I finally found a way to break the chains that prevented me from finding sobriety, regaining control of my life, and living happily and in peace for what has now been over twenty years.Addiction is now one of the greatest plagues afflicting the world. No section of society is immune.You'll find in my book, A Bodyguard for My Soul: The Solution, a formula that has proved itself, plus resources that can help you break your addiction, especially addiction to alcohol, drugs and/or pills:A BODYGUARD FOR MY SOUL: The SolutionA simple way to rehabilitate yourself.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.
