ALCIDES PEREZ
BUILT FROM THE STRUGGLE.
From addiction.
From the streets.
From survival mode.
This is my turn.
About Pin
I'M NOT PERFECT. I'M PROOF.
My name is Alcides Perez — most people know me as Pin. I've lived through addiction. I've slept in the woods. I've survived overdoses that should have ended my story.
But they didn't.
Today I work. I rebuild. I speak up. I go back to the same streets I once struggled on — not to survive, but to show others that recovery is possible.
"I'm not perfect. I'm proof change can happen."

THIS PART OF MY CHAPTER IS MY TURN
This isn't a motivational speech. It's the truth.
It's about addiction without excuses. Survival without sugarcoating. And rebuilding when nobody believes you can.
If you've ever felt written off, broken, or forgotten — this book was written for you.

The Movement
BUILT FROM THE STRUGGLE
This is bigger than a book.
Built From The Struggle is about returning to the places that almost destroyed me — and bringing hope there.
Recovery is possible.
Rebuilding is possible.
Purpose is possible.
If you're fighting addiction or supporting someone who is — you are not alone.
