Description
Husband, addict, father, skeptic.
Now 60 - with years of sobriety under his belt - and the father of three sons, James Brown writes about finding a new path in life, making peace with the family whose ghosts have haunted him, and helping the next generation of addicts overcome their disease. Opening with the tragic tale of an elderly couple consumed by opioid addiction and moving through the horrors of a Las Vegas massacre to the loss of a beloved sponsor, these essays draw on Brown's personal journey of recovery to illustrate how an individual life, in all its messiness and charm, can offer a blueprint for healing. Haunting and hopeful, Apology to the Young Addict is a reinvention of the recovery memoir and a lasting testimony from a master writing at his peak.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A dark yet hope-infused look back at the long-term transformations fueled by an addict's recovery... Memorably well crafted, tight, and searing... Tough, meditative, realist prose creates a worthy addition to the crowded field of (post) addiction memoirs." (Kirkus Reviews)
