Follow the author's harrowing descent from a successful journalist and communications professional into severe addiction to alcohol and drugs, including multiple relapses and a dozen stays in various inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
At center is the Rehab All-Star paradox: the tendency to thrive within structured environments of treatment centers, contrasting sharply with an inability to maintain long-term sobriety outside of rehabs - where the author self-describes as a Little Leaguer.
The narrative provides a critical examination of the modern substance abuse treatment industry.
