Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 9
As an ex junky I wrote this book to help addicts and their devastated families. Throughout my two decades of sobriety, I've been working with those still in the trenches and the folks caught in their orbit, trying to solve the riddle of an unstoppable addict. Why would a person do something so harmful to themself and the ones they love? Are they a disaster because they're on drugs, or on drugs because they were a disaster? The drugs are usually just a symptom of a bigger problem.

Captivating and raw bravery through addiction
Revisado: 11-29-24
This book truly spoke to me. I was hooked the moment I began listening to Richard’s real and raw story to freedom. As a fellow addict, I found so many differences and even more similarities while his story unfolded. What stood out most was “the one size doesn’t fit all” mentality in recovery. His ability to take and utilize different aspects of sobriety through out years of recovery truly changed something in me, as I have had my own struggles with the idea of their only being one specific way of remaining sober. This was affirming and educational.
We all have different lows, rock-bottoms, and experiences- especially in sobriety- But the struggles remain the same. I thank the author for sharing his vulnerable story and reminding us all of the brutality of addiction, but even more, of the miracle of recovery. To any fellow addict or loved one of an addict- SHARE this story and hope.
