Grant Matheson's memoir is a down-to-earth honest and gritty account of his narcotic addiction. It explores what happened from the first moment he experienced with drugs and explores all that it cost him from relationships, his career, and almost his life. I really enjoyed the moment when he decided to rebuild his life through rehab and recovery, and was cheering him on all the way.

This was a very honest book in terms of looking at addiction and how it can affect anyone and the lengths to which it may take people. I really struggled to read it though, as I find it hard to enjoy nonfiction, especially when it covers topics such as this. It would be a very useful book for people writing papers or doing projects covering this topic.

This book is one example of how easy it is to become addicted to drugs. The opioid crisis (and other additions) are hurting many families, and need to be addressed. Even those whose families are not directly affected could be inadvertently harmed by someone high on drugs or alcohol -- a doctor, pharmacist, driver, etc. -- so everyone should be concerned about addictions.

Very honest and unflinching life story of the author. A doctor, husband, father, son who lets an addiction get in the way of his life. Addiction has no certain type, as the author shows us in a very good memoir. The lengths he went through to get drugs was astounding. Even though it is a short read it is powerful. Good luck to the author. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
