Scott Strode drank his first beer at 11 years old. By 15, he was using cocaine. By his early 20s, he had spiraled into the bleakest nights of his addiction—alone in a dark alley, too drunk to light a crack pipe. Then came a series of life-changing outdoor adventures—including competing in Ironman triathlons and climbing in the Himalayas—leading to a decade of profound personal growth. By the summer of 2006, Scott had nearly ten years of sobriety and a vision for revolutionizing addiction recovery.

Psychologe E. M. Thomas räumt mit den Mythen der Nüchternheit auf.

My name is John, I’m an alcoholic. At the age of 52, I checked myself into rehab. 21 days. This book is an honest account of my experience; the triumphs, the setbacks, the profound connections, the trials endured, the solace found in Faith, and ultimately the reclamation of my life. In my early teenage years, alcohol found its way into my life; initially serving as a source of enjoyment among friends.

When my eyes creaked open and tried to find focus, I didn’t know where I was. The room was dim, my wrists were tied to the bed rail, and the dull ache of a needle in my hand throbbed through the fog. Motionless and silent, I lay staring at the ceiling until everything started coming back to me—the hallucinations, my teeth were melting, the menacing trolls teetering around the bedroom; uncontrollable shaking while my wife, Robin, helped me take a shower; and the catatonic ride to the emergency department of Meriter Hospital.
