Most people probably wouldn’t laugh while dangling upside down from the side of a 430-foot cliff. Then again, most people wouldn’t be stumbling around a mountaintop drunk and high on a pitch-black night. I was somewhat annoyed after noticing the torn front pocket of my new jeans the next morning, but my indignation quickly faded when my friends explained what happened. My pocket had become hooked on a tree limb as I plunged towards certain death. They went on to explain how they had formed a human chain and pulled me to safety. I thought they were joking until they drove me back up the mountain to see for myself. I haven’t stepped within 20 feet of a cliff edge since that night. Thank you, my friends. Thank you, Levi-Strauss. And thank you, Guardian Angel.

I suppose most people might have learned something after a brush with death. It should have served as a wake-up call that my huge appetite for drugs and alcohol were out of control. But it didn’t, not even after several more near-misses. By age 21, I’d managed to destroy four cars and my driver’s license was revoked indefinitely. The last part of that sentence had something to do with smashing Dad’s Ford Fairlane into a parked car while under the influence of barbiturates and alcohol. Most people would have learned something, but I wasn’t like most people. I was young, angry, and an addict in the making. In fact, 20 more years would pass before I finally got the memo.

If you or someone you care about are struggling with addiction, this book might just save a life, as it has done for people around the world.
