Some people crash once. Bill Tiny Lawson crashed so many times that he finally stopped calling it bad luck and started calling it his crash site. Welcome to it.
Locked On is the true story of a Marine HAWK missile technician who could keep a radar locked on an incoming target but could not lock onto his own life. It is the story of a seventeen-year-old who walked into a courtroom with a manila envelope and walked out headed for Parris Island, a young man with no middle gear who went all in on everything, the good and the destructive, and a grown man who found himself locked up and out of options.
In the Marines, a radar locks on when it stops searching and fixes on one target. Bill spent decades locked onto the wrong things. This book is about the day that changed, who was in the room when it did, and what it cost the people who loved him along the way.
Out of the wreckage came Warriors Project Ministry, a grassroots recovery outreach that began with a handful of people and grew to more than 200 at its weekly Saturday gatherings. Groceries, resume help, second-chance bank accounts, Narcan and CPR training, self-defense classes, and a family that would not let anyone sit alone. The work was recognized as a Best Grassroots Organization and documented an 86 percent success rate among completers at twelve months. Bill was recognized by Senator Rob Portman at a Unite rally in Washington, took part in a Senate opioid roundtable in Columbus, and contributed to legislation. And one of the moments he treasures most is going back into the place where he had once been locked up, this time to help the people still inside.
Inside this book you will find:
- 44 chapters told in Bill?s own voice, with no polish and no excuses
- The misclassified victim idea: people in addiction are sick, not bad. Call them by their name, not their shame
- What actually works in the narrow window when someone says I?m ready
- Surrender to win: the mentor, the garage, and the lesson that cost him everything to learn
- The Saturdays that held, the ministry?s rescues and searches, and the faith that carried him through
- The price his daughter paid, told with honesty and love
- A photo section, Warriors Project: A Look Inside, and a memorial tribute, All Gave Some, Some Gave All, honoring those lost to addiction
- A closing devotional, Healing Souls
This book is for the person in the middle of it, the family member who has run out of hope, the veteran trying to find his way home, the pastor, the counselor, the officer, and the reader who simply wants to know that a life this broken can still be redeemed. Bill does not claim to be finished. His sobriety is a daily battle, and he says so honestly. What he offers is proof that the only signal that works is love, and that the true summit is not any award or recognition, but who stayed with you in the sewer.
If you are looking for a polished success story, this is not it. If you are looking for the truth about falling, getting up, and helping others up, you are in the right place.
Pick up Locked On: Welcome to My Crash Site, and find out what happens when a man finally locks on to the right target.
Dedicated to his daughter, Samantha McClain.
