About this listen

He staged his own kidnapping to hide a suicide attempt. This is what addiction really looks like.

Fraud is a raw, unfiltered memoir by Tom Gitchel Jr. that takes listeners deep inside the chaos of addiction, self-deception, and recovery. Chance James had a nursing license, a job, and a family who believed in him. But behind the mask, he was unraveling—addicted, ashamed, and living a lie he could no longer maintain.

In a desperate attempt to escape, he faked his own abduction—and that is where the real story begins. This powerful true account follows his journey through rock bottom, detox, rehab, and the painful but redemptive process of learning to live again.

Perfect for listeners who: have battled addiction or mental illness, love someone who struggles with substance use, and believe in second chances.

Content Warning: This memoir contains graphic descriptions of drug use, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and discussions of sexual identity. Discretion is advised.
