"This book will blow your mind! The amount of research and insight puts it in a class of its own. Couldn’t put it down. So authentic and raw, loved it!" - Amazon reviewer

I'm writing these books because I'm tired of watching my friends die. Everything that we have done in America to deal with the opioid epidemic has made us drastically worse, and people don't seem to realize it.

Irresponsible, profit-mongering pharmaceutical companies created millions of addicts like me. By becoming acquainted with the power and peace that a pocketful of oxy can bring an anxious teenager, readers will begin to understand exactly how so many of us got hooked on oxy, and how oxy serves as a gateway to criminal behavior and other drugs.

Readers will also come to understand why the criminal justice system makes so many of us even worse, as you join me in flashbacks to my arrest-laden adolescence. You'll also join me in Phoenix, AZ in 2018, as I run my 'fentoxy' business and deal with the IV drug addictions that replaced the Adderall and oxy of my youth. This will give you an intimate look at the opioid monstrosity in its' current form, as oxy has been replaced by fentanyl and crooked doctors have been replaced by a new generation of highly intelligent, internet-saavy, rehab-addicted, drug-dealing kids that just can't get straight - no matter how hard we pray.

I'm desperate to help people understand why the opioid epidemic is only getting worse. Most people have outdated and stereotypical ideas when it comes to the experiences of addiction and recovery. It's time that people find out the truth. I might have survived the criminal justice system and the revolving-door treatment centers that are replacing it, but many did not, and many more will die if nothing changes.

Proceeds from these books will go towards bringing yoga therapy to those suffering from addictive disorders.
