Every great journey begins with a single step-but that first step is usually the hardest to make, especially for those in the throes of active drug or alcohol addiction. Fear of the unknown can be so powerful that it's crippling, and too often it prevents us from stepping onto the road to recovery, even when we've decided that enough is enough and we want something better.
If you are ready to stop using drugs or alcohol, or are considering sobriety as an option, let My Season in Hell help you overcome your fear of the unknown. Written by an addict for other addicts, it thoroughly explains what the road to recovery looks like from the other side so that you can decide whether you're ready to embark upon it.
Raw, real, and incredibly revealing, Forrest Bowers's moving memoir recounts his personal experiences with active addiction, detox, rehab, and lasting recovery. It will carry you behind the scenes to see the pain, humor, challenges, and triumphs you can expect to experience in rehab, as well as the types of people you will likely encounter and the ways the process may affect your interpersonal relationships.
About the Author: Forrest Bowers is a practicing optometrist, outdoor enthusiast, and recovering addict from Tucson, Arizona. He shares his home, hobbies, and occupation with his wife, Corina, with whom he is also a proud pet parent to two dogs, Elvis and Jasmine.
Bowers is currently in recovery from addiction to painkillers and has been in recovery from alcohol for twenty years. He has experienced firsthand the chaos of addiction and is intimately familiar with both the joy and the fear associated with recovery. His debut title, My Season in Hell, relates his personal experiences with detox and rehab and is as much a resource for active addicts as it is an autobiographical account.
