About this listen

My name is Brett. I'm a college-educated man who was once a husband of 26 years with two children, three businesses, and a large home with an actual white picket fence. I'm also a drug addict. And I have a tale to tell.

My story has everything: sex, death, pain, atheism, God, jail, marriage, divorce, heresy, homosexuality, physics, traffic fatalities, computer science, video games, cinnamon toothpicks, Barry Manilow, Nine Inch Nails, pornography, breasts, used tampons, strippers, venereal disease, abortion, prostitutes, AIDS, racism, suicide, infidelity, public nudity, anti-Semitism, marijuana, alcohol, pawn shops, drug dealers, needles, acid, ecstasy, crack, heroin, pain pills, withdrawal, interventions, rehabs, product tampering, road rage, vandalism, elderly abuse, grave desecration, arson, identity theft, burglary, armed robbery, and murder.

But more importantly, it's about the despair of addiction and the absolute certainty that it can be overcome. Recovery is not simply abstinence, but a process of growing up. I spent my entire life searching for the key to long-term sobriety. I would like to share with you what I have learned.

But anyway it’s hard to believe all the drugs he did all the stealing and trouble he got in he’s not in prison but again he’s white.

It’s disheartening to hear the racism.

I purchased this book moments before I viewed the reviews and was worried after what was posted. How could people, AFTER reading the book, still call him a piece of s***? As I was finishing the book, I understood. I've heard some stories in meetings but this one tops them all. This is a BRUTAL story, but very real and very necessary for those in recovery. Thank you for sharing

Ummm... Did I just listen to that?

This is the most real and raw story of addiction and how it creates something that you can't recognize in yourself, also gives hope that you really can change

If you don't come away from this book with a little better understanding of how addiction works, then you've missed the whole point. I admire his honesty and truthfulness at how bad things can get, and how come choices that seem inconceivable to the adverage person make sense to someone in addiction. we all fight inner demons-- some do it big and out in open for others to judge, others hide things well and are just lucky at not getting caught.

Great read!

Great Book

I don't know if it was the "stock" straight toned reader or the lack of interesting material but I didn't even finish.

Uneventful for sure

A sad reality of what really happens. Drugs will tear everything apart . Wish the narrator was different but it was still good.
