Historia5 out of 5 stars 8
The author's young adulthood basically amounts to a how-to primer for addiction. Paranoia and impulsiveness, obsession, and manipulation. Throw in compulsion, false pride, fear and dishonesty, all driven by self-centered thinking. The gateway behavior for all the others. Blessed with a good memory, almost granular for certain events and circumstances, Mike Matson turns his journalist's eye on his own past and the result is an honest, unflinching look at his decades-long struggle with addiction.

Hard-won, satisfying redemption arc
Revisado: 12-29-24
Matson’s storytelling skill and keen eye for detail bring the 70s and 80s back to life. The parties, the cars, the clothes, the friends… the beer. The reader rides shotgun as Mike navigates life, achieves professional success, battles addiction and denial, and learns hard truths about himself. His redemption arc is hard-won and satisfying, Well done.
