Going Up and Coming Down from Drugs and Alcohol

About the Book

The last thing that I remember is feeling dizzy. When I came to I was surrounded by family and friends and I was in a hospital bed. I was drifting in and out of consciousness, I don't know if I was conscious for five minutes or for five hours. From all of the drugs and the alcohol I had been using, a vein in my esophagus had burst, I had almost bled to death and the doctors told my family that I wouldn't make it through the night. I did survive and here is my story and what I believe led me to the point of death.

I have learned that this is not true, it may be hard but there is hope. I have lived through the DT's of alcoholism and the withdrawal of pills. I did do some damage to my body along the way, especially to my liver. But I am in better shape now than I have ever been, I live in Miami Florida, I eat healthy and I also go to the gym. Which when I was using I didn't even consider.
