Barb Rogersa book begins with the tragic death of her teenage son,
Jon, and delves into the horror that was her life to that point.
Due to a home life fraught with substance and emotional abuse, Barb
found herself bottomed out more than once, and homeless along the
way.
aWhen asked in early recovery if I knew any prayers, the one I
could think of was the childas nighttime prayer, aNow I lay me down
to sleep.a As I thought of it, I recalled the long nights when I
simply wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.a
Barb learned most of her life lessons through pain, tragedy, and
addiction. This is not a glamorous book, it is real and it is raw.
It is not about survival of the fittest, but the weak, the
hopeless, the helpless, the truly addicted, not only to substances,
but to drama, anger, excuses, and justifications.
She describes how she got to her lowest point, just what it was,
and how and why she finally reached out to a 12-step program for
help. She shows the reader what itas really like to survive, to
stay clean and sober, and find a way to the other side. Recovery
was one of the most difficult things she ever did, but aworth every
effort I put out.a
Barb Rogers would be the first to tell you sheas not special--sheas
led a hard life, and she tells her story well and with
humor--readers--addicts or not, but especially addicts--are going
to find the kind of gritty inspiration, that if Barb can do it so
can they, that will inspire life changes.
