Before It Kills Me: A Gritty Tale of Wrestling, Addiction, and Redemption

By Daniel Alexander

The dream made him a star. The pain made him a ghost. Now Mason Grady has one night left to prove he's still alive.

Once the future of pro wrestling, Mason burned bright-and burned out harder. Addiction wrecked his body. Fame cost him his family. Rehab didn't erase the guilt. What's left is a man trying to claw his way back from the edge, desperate for something worth fighting for.

So when the N.W.F. announces a one-night tournament for the World Heavyweight Championship, Mason steps back into the spotlight. Not for glory. Not for applause.
For one last shot at redemption.

But the closer he gets to the ring, the louder the old demons get-painkillers calling his name, memories he can't outrun, and the haunting fear that he's destined to fall the same way twice.

If he wins, he gets a legacy.
If he loses, he might not walk away at all.

Before It Kills Me is a raw, emotionally charged story about addiction, self-destruction, and the brutal price of chasing a dream. Perfect for readers who crave:

gritty, character-driven fiction

dark sports drama

behind-the-scenes wrestling realism redemption arcs that hit like a steel chair.

If you want a story that digs deep, hits hard, and stays with you long after the final bell, this is the one you pick up.
