Russell Holbrook is from a good Baptist home, a traditional nuclear family, where he was raised with love and given every opportunity that a healthy young man could hope for. But the chemicals in his brain didn't quite mix and flow the way they were supposed to. By the time he was twenty-one years old, in the summer of 1997, his inner and outer life were spiraling downward in a vortex of depression, alienation, addiction, and reckless behavior. He needed help. He needed hope. He needed an answer. And then he found it, only it wasn't what he assumed it to be.
This is the true life story of how a happy-go-lucky, beer-swilling, pot-smoking Christian rocker sought to destroy his life, how he succeeded, how he failed, and where he is now.

- Mr. Holbrook opens his heart and humbles himself to reveal and honest, real, and raw account of his experience. I often wondered why and how many of my friends could, did, and remained down a path similar to Russell's. His writing is well done, using sensory language at times to pull us into what he was feeling and thinking and seeing at particular moments. He also reveals his motivations and trains of thought in precise language that shows his process. Although sad and poignant, it is well worth the read to gain insight, understanding, or simply just to empathize with those who went through something similar. Thanks for sharing Russell.
- Holbrook seemingly does not spare himself nor the reader any of the details he recalls. He takes us on a painful journey that we go on willingly because of his relatable humanity. Holbrook's writing is accessible and aptly describes the torturous cycle of addiction. As someone in recovery, I recommend this to anyone who struggles with drug and alcohol abuse and perhaps more importantly, to those who do not.

- This book is a very brutal look at depression, addiction, family, friends, and faith. The author’s own recollection of fumbling through life via his habits, in words that flowed beautifully and cut deeply when they needed to. We may not need another reminder of how addiction destroys lives, but this is a very welcome addition to that library regardless. I read this book in one sitting. Maybe you will too.
