Joe Clifford didn't start drinking beer until he was almost twenty years old. By the time he turned twenty-two, he was addicted to methamphetamine, and the heroin wasn't far behind.

When Joe Clifford fell into drugs, he fell hard and fast and he just kept falling. Plus, he took several people along with him for the ride.

I learned a lot in this book and I am a pharmacist. You would think I would already know some of this stuff. But, I don’t think I have ever read about anyone being as desperate to get high they shoot up mouse droppings. Or, the lengths “junkies” go through to find a vein. Very eye opening for me (apparently I am sheltered!)

Joe is strong willed, in other words, stubborn! This tenacity is what gets him into this mess and this is also what gets him out. He had to be this way to come to terms with his situation.

This is a quick read but, it is also an enlightening one. I have read a few “junkie” memoirs in my day. However, I do not believe any have been as honest and as open this one is. I just wanted to jerk him bald headed!

I received a copy of this memoir from the author for a honest review. PLUS HE SIGNED IT! (
