Former commando Chris Thrall returned from a year in Hong Kong suffering severe psychosis from crystal meth addiction. The medical profession said recovery was unlikely and recommended admitting him to a psychiatric hospital.
'There's nothing wrong with me!'
Chris refused all intervention and his life descended into a chaotic cycle of drug use that almost killed him.
Salvation came in a surprising form.
***
In this long-awaited follow-up to Eating Smoke, Chris tells a harrowing yet refreshing and often hilarious account of addiction and one gutsy journey to recovery.
