Hello, my name is James and I'm an alcoholic.

By James K Kearney

Hello, my name is James and I'm an alcoholic is a book based on true events and is entirely politically incorrect, irreverent, and profane and well, brutally honest. It follows a troubled young man's struggle with alcoholism, drug abuse, depression and suicidal tendencies. It also follows his long-suffering mother who has to watch her son's physical and mental health deteriorate in front of her very eyes. The story has everything a story should have: it will make you laugh, cry and think. It will make you think twice about judging an alcoholic, drug addict or anyone living rough. That's if you do judge these kinds of people of course. The story goes back and forth from telling the reader about James's comfortable upbringing-living with a caring family and having fun at Christmas parties with his cousins-to true tales of how he somehow slipped into addiction and how strange people would catch his eye. The book contains very dark humour and sexual content. The characters vary from completely crazy to mildly strange to normal folk like James's poor mother. Some would compare James Kearney's writing to that of Irvine Walsh or John Waters. He likes to mix dark vivid real-life with the weird and wonderful.
