Summary
Critic reviews
"Like the alcohol he so enjoys, Burroughs' story of getting dry will go straight into your bloodstream and leave you buzzing, exhilarated, and wiped out...this memoir operates on a high level of involvement and suspense." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"[A] wrenching, edifying journey...with the added benefit of being really entertaining." ( The New York Times Book Reviews)
"...Harrowing yet hilarious personal encounter....His performance blends self-deprecating black humor with wise-cracking confidence. His natural wit and charm keep the listener rooting for his success." ( AudioFile)

Absolute must read!
A couple of months into my sobriety, I've been listening to anything subject related... and this is by far my favourite! Honest, funny, witty, a little dark... I laughed, cried and felt elated.. could not switch off!! Beautifully written and narrated. Pleased to see he has written other titles I'm now checking out!

How you can begin to understand
A heart-felt and heartbreaking story of a journey through alcoholism and recovery. Darkly funny and very real.
