Built After Broken

About this book

What if the moment that nearly broke you was actually the beginning of the life you were meant to live?In Built After Broken, Dan tells a raw, unflinching story of collapse, truth, and rebuilding from the ground up. From a five-day spiral that ended in a quiet bathroom and a single, life-altering sentence, to the long, unglamorous road of recovery, Cawley invites readers into the moments most people hide and the discipline it takes to face them head-on.This is not a story of an overnight transformation. It is a story of honesty.Raised in a small town where reputation was everything, Cawley learned early how to read a room and give people what they wanted. That skill built success in business and relationships, but it also became a mask. Beneath it, addiction, shame, and avoidance quietly took hold, leading to choices that nearly cost him everything.What follows is a deeply human journey through: Addiction, drift, and the breaking point no one sees coming The power of radical truth-telling and personal accountability Forgiveness, and the kind of support that doesn't flinch Rebuilding a life, one disciplined decision at a time Discovering purpose not in performance, but in honesty Blending memoir with hard-earned wisdom, Built After Broken moves from the depths of self-destruction to the clarity of purpose-offering a roadmap for anyone who has ever felt lost, stuck, or defined by their worst decisions.This book doesn't promise easy answers. It offers something better: a way forward.If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to change...If you've ever felt like you're living a version of yourself that isn't true...If you're ready to stop performing and start rebuilding-Get Built After Broken today and take the first step toward a life rooted in truth, discipline, and real transformation.
