Secondhand High is a raw and unflinching poetry collection about addiction, survival, and the long road to recovery. With sharp honesty and tender vulnerability, Stephanie Haveman writes about the shadows of relapse, the ache of craving, the scars the body remembers, and the fragile beauty of healing.
Each poem captures the restless heartbeat of someone who has lived through the grip of substances and the painful aftermath of letting them go. This collection does not glorify the high-it exposes the truth of emptiness, chaos, and loss, while offering a powerful reminder that hope and resilience are always possible.
For readers who carry their own battles with addiction, or for those who love someone who does, Secondhand High is both a mirror and a lifeline. It is a testament to the strength it takes to rise again, to choose life one day at a time, and to believe in love, healing, and the possibility of joy.
If you are drawn to poetry on recovery, trauma, self-worth, resilience, or survival, this book belongs on your shelf. Perfect for fans of Rudy Francisco, Sabrina Benaim, and modern healing poetry, Secondhand High is not just a book-it is a companion for anyone learning to live without the crutch of escape.
