Publisher's Summary
Khalil Rafati went to Los Angeles in the 1990s and had it all. He was working with Hollywood movie stars and legendary rock musicians, but it wasn't long before he found his way into the dark underbelly of the City of Angels.
When he hit rock bottom - addicted to heroin and cocaine, overtaken by paranoia and psychosis, written off by his friends and family - he grabbed a shovel and kept digging. At 33, Khalil was 109 pounds, a convicted felon, high school dropout, and homeless junkie living on the infamous Skid Row in downtown L.A.
So how does someone with nothing, who feels like they deserve nothing, and who just wants to end it all turn their life around?
I Forgot to Die is an incredible true story of pain, suffering, addiction, and redemption - and how one man ultimately conquered his demons and wrote himself a new life story.

it was ok...
As I said...it was ok. The guy may have gotten sober and did some good but he never got humble and that makes it hard to respect.

Memoir
An incredible, heartbreaking, and moving story of a man coming back from the lowest a person can get. Occasionally the religious overtones are a bit heavy, but otherwise a very good listen.

Thank you!
In a time when the opioid crisis has taken so many of our loved ones, I wanna thank you Khalil for sharing your journey ...and helping us understand the unrelenting power of addiction and the confirmation of the power of love and recovery! I work in the mental health and substance use field, and so appreciate the Ronis you’ve shared. Thank you!
