Recoded

Seventy five percent of drug addict will relapse within the first year of completing an in-patient drug treatment program. In 2017, drug overdose was the single greatest cause of injury-related death in the United States and seventy thousand Americans died from it. These statistics are personal to me. I was a homeless drug addict in the year 2010. I lost my job, home, family and friends. My goal is to share my direct experience as a recovering addict to help people understand the human lives behind these statistics. If you've ever believed you were hopeless, unworthy, or beyond help; if you've ever betrayed a friend, lived in your car, or lied to your parents about why you were fired from your job; if you've ever wondered if you'll make it through the next year, the next month, or the next day; if you've ever felt paralyzed by fear or remorse, know that this book is addressed directly to you. Know that it is not too late to be a better person. My story is proof.
