This is a true story told in bad memories. It's a love story about self-destruction through excess and apathy. A journal chronicling what happened soon after I lost hope and decided to replace it with drugs and liquor. Ha. No. Actually, it's a comedy; a dark, depressing, comedy filled with hilarious anecdotes about emergency rooms, hospitals, detoxes, and rehabs with revolving doors that never seem to rehabilitate anyone. An expose filled with harsh criticisms of treatment programs and support groups; and counselors, clinicians, doctors, and therapists. A handy guide for anyone planning on visiting a psych ward or psychiatric facility, including helpful tips on what to wear, what to bring, and what drugs they'll probably give you when you get there. The tale of one man's tragic fall from grace, filled with lusty tales of adventure battling a host of malevolent demons as he claws his way back to respectability to make his people proud and once again eat shit in the real world; this is the classic Hero's Journey, you could say...although "Anti-Hero" would be more fitting.
