About this listen

Joseph W. Naus was living the American dream. He'd survived a brutal childhood, graduated from Pepperdine Law School, and become a successful attorney. Then one night his American dream life became a nightmare when his sex and alcohol addictions collided and exploded.

"On Tuesday I was a respected civil trial lawyer making six figures. On Wednesday I woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed, charged with attempted murder...and then it got worse."

Straight Pepper Diet is a book about surviving one's own wreckage. It's harrowing, sometimes hilarious, and surprisingly hope-filled.

From the first minute this story had me hooked. This is an incredible journey of addiction, prison and recovery. Naus is a great narrator. Highly recommend!

A powerful story

if this doesn't become a standout sobriety memoir, I don't know what will or should. I have read many sobriety memoirs given my own journey to recover from alcohol addiction. My journey seems pretty mild to Joseph's but all the traits resonate. This is extremely well written; I kept rooting for a great outcome for him although he was very judgemental and unswervingly critical of his own behaviour. I absolutely LOVED this book. Joseph has endured so much in his life and despite the consequences of his addiction, ha sought to help others so selflessly. I was very impressed by Joseph an thought his memoir was very engaging, honest and eloquent. Actually think his story is movie material. Thank you Joseph for your insight.
