Historia
After years of hiding her addiction from everyone—from stockpiling pills in her Louboutins to elaborately scheduling withdrawals between PTA meetings, baby showers, and tennis matches—Laura Cathcart Robbins settles into a complicated purgatory. She learns the hard way that privilege doesn’t protect you from pain. Facing divorce, the possibility of a grueling custody battle, and internalized racism, Robbins wonders just how much more she can take. Now, with courage, she reveals how she managed to begin the long journey toward sobriety and unexpectedly finding new love.

Historia
When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she has to find a way to hold on to her spot as the catcher for a team expected to make a historic tournament run. Behind the plate is the only place she’s ever felt comfortable, and the painkillers she’s been prescribed can help her get there. The pills do more than take away pain; they make her feel good. But as the pressure to be Mickey Catalan heightens, her need increases, and it becomes less about pain and more about want, something that could send her spiraling out of control.

Historia
This is a deeply personal story of a young woman’s journey through addiction; the loss of her child’s father through an overdose, her mother’s suicide, and the tragic consequences that those lifestyle choices bring. At 15, Shelley was submerged into the seedy world of the red-light district of Honolulu. As the warm-up act for the strippers, she became a topless dancer only to discover she was not emotionally prepared for the lewd attention. Pills and heroin helped her to cope with a lifestyle that was beyond her years.

That's What Junkies Do is a brutally honest, often dark journey of one man's struggle with alcoholism and drug addiction. The story starts innocently enough in 1980's Brooklyn, NY, with a young boy, Thomas Figlioli, making a bad choice so he could gain the respect of a group of kids he looked up to and admired. Alcohol gives him the courage to be the person he always wanted to be. His fear and insecurity leaves and his lifelong struggle begins. When thoughts of ending it all become a better choice than living how he is, Thomas finally asks for help.

Resumen del Editor
I broke out into a cold sweat, and tried to cry. The tears would not fall, because I knew in my heart that I had no one to blame for my situation but myself. I came from a good, loving family. I was never beaten or abused. We went on family vacations every summer. My childhood years could not have been more perfect. What was wrong with me? I looked closely into the mirror and saw the dark circles beneath my eyes. I was underweight and my long blonde hair was thinning. I looked away from the mirror quickly and sat on the cold, tile floor of this cheap motel bathroom. My hand shook a bit as I held the spoon full of heroin. I cooked it up with a blue lighter. I dropped in a small piece of cotton and drew up the liquid with a syringe. I injected the heroin and fell slowly back against the wall. The tile was no longer cold, and life did not seem so hopeless anymore.

Historia
Liz Murray was born to loving but drug-addicted parents in the Bronx. In school she was taunted for her dirty clothing and lice-infested hair, eventually skipping so many classes that she was put into a girls' home. At age 15, Liz found herself on the streets when her family finally unraveled. She learned to scrape by, foraging for food and riding subways all night to have a warm place to sleep. Then, when Liz's mother died of AIDS, she decided to take control of her own destiny.

Historia
Brian Belovitch has the rare distinction of coming out three times: first as a queer teenager; second as a glamorous transgender woman named Tish, and later, Natalia Gervais; and finally as an HIV-positive gay man surviving the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. From growing up in a barely-working-class first-generation immigrant family in Fall River, Massachusetts, to spinning across the disco dance floor of Studio 54 in New York City, Brian escaped many near-death experiences. Trans Figured chronicles a life lived on the edge with an unforgettable cast of characters.

Really good! But....
This book was excellent. The only complaint i have is that it's very short. There are 53 chapters but most only 5 minutes long. Read this book if you are thinking about it but don't use your credit on it. I finished this book in 1 day.

Very raw, real and HONEST. Already buying the rest
Emotional, very real. Inspiring. Can't wait to lister to the others. Extremely well written,as well as honest. I could relate to some but not all. However I'm a greatful addict in Recovery who need to "be reminded" (I guess u can say) of "that" life. For me it was prison....... 6yrs ago however it absolutely saved my life. Continued in 12 st meetings etc however....... Let's just say in 2013(nov)i relapsed..... I'm on MMT and it has 100%bar-none saved my life. I can't wait to get into your 2nd book, 3rd,all the way to 6 that just was released. You are a very inspiring soul. Which I AY self am writing(working on my memoirs. Hoping to one day share my tragedy into my Triumph!

got a little lost
I didn't realize it was a 2 part which is kind of upsetting. It's a relatively short book, I was lost a little bit as the writing didn't flow very well with her storyline such as employment from 1 place to the next. I was just getting interested when it abruptly stopped with her in jail again, it barely felt like a chapter ending much less book. Almost feels like a scheme to sell the 2nd book even tho it's more of a "continuance" of the exact same scene. I Doubt I'll even purchase. besides that it was ok. a different point of view from an addict, a more high end/80s view.

I was already a big fan of this book and the series but hearing it with narration made it even better. Highly recommend. Hope the others are made into audiobooks also.

I wouldn't spend money on it...
In my opinion, this memoir lacks emotion and detail. It reads like a list... "I walked down the street", "then I went home". She rarely discusses the emotional toll or impact of the trauma she's experiencing. At first, I thought this was intentional to show how unemotional one can become in addition, but there was never a tone shift at all to show the nuances of an addiction like this. I could not invest in this story.
