Delve into the life of an addict in this poignant story from author and substance abuse counselor, Aaron Bryant. Bryant takes you on a journey into the darker side of addition and recovery. This is not for the faint at heart, but neither is the world of drugs, alcohol, and addiction.

This story not only truly characterizes the life of an addict, but also the long, excruciating road to recovery, for the both the addict and their family and friends. Drugs, sex, and violence are all fairly depicted by the author. Be prepared to cry and get angry, as if a family member of this addict would.

Bryant has used his experience as a counselor to accurately develop this storyline. Kudos, to the author, for daring to write about such a touchy subject, and for understanding the brutal and honest truth of drugs and addiction.
