Don't Count Me Out chronicles the life of Bruce White from the
beginning of his drug use in elementary school through criminal
acts fueled by his need for drugs, to his miraculous recovery three
decades later and involvement in the treatment of addicts, where he
is now a leader in the rehabilitation field. Rafael Alvarez's
recounting of White's journey should inspire those dealing with the
fallout of addiction. Alvarez, a journalist and screenwriter,
allows the reader to get inside the head of an addict who was
stealing alcohol from his parents at the age of nine, selling drugs
and tripping on LSD and PCP by the time he hit seventh grade, and
hooked on morphine before he turned fifteen. "Bruce White? I
thought he was dead?" is a response encountered in many of the
interviews Alvarez conducted. Don't Count Me Out shines a spotlight
on an improbable and stunning miracle. Though this is just one
person's story, the contributing factors of early sexual assault,
the role of permissive preoccupied parents, and the need for peer
approval, among others, will resonate with many as the opioid
crisis continues to haunt us.
