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.

Suburban Fear and Loathing
Fear and Loathing in Pensacola Florida with a little redemption thrown in. Honest, horrifying and funny, this is a story well told with a willingness to confront the author's abhorrent behaviour and extraordinary highs and lows.

Breathtaking
Thank you for the insight I have gathered from this book, it will help me be a better counsellor and person in the future. I thought I had a fair idea what an addictive lifestyle entailed, little did I know…

Awesome story.
As a functional alcoholic now in my mid 60s, although not living in the US this really resonated with me. I wish all the best for Brett and thank him for his honesty, it was a hell of a tale. Bless.

childish and honest but no help
author did a good job writing a memoir and thats all rest its not rewarding.
so for 80% of the book it was "look how i did drugs" and 10% was yay i got fixed via rehab 10% was i luv myself.
still author kept me interested for straight 8-9 hours and i heard the whole of it in one go
still hate drug addicts and vote anyday to pass a law to shoot them on spot instead of burning tax payers money on fixing them.

Couldn’t finish the book.
This person is just so awful. I feel so sorry for anyone who was unfortunate enough to come in to contact with him.
Do not buy!
