About this listen

'The most honest account of addiction I have read. This is an invaluable book'. – Tony Adams.

What is an addict?

Who is susceptible, and why?

How can I recover from addiction?

Growing up in a fractious and dysfunctional family, life wasn’t easy for the Secret Drug Addict. By the time he was 29, his chronic and intensive drug abuse threatened end not only his career, but also his life.

After finally entering rehabilitation and various therapy programmes, he managed to find his way out of addiction and began to live with sobriety, in recovery, one day at a time.

This is his story, and this book is for anyone who is struggling with addiction or thinks they might have a problem. It is a book for family and friends who live with the real-life consequences of addiction and want to know more about the illness and where and how to get help.

'I've known the Secret Drug Addict for many years and there is no one better to write about addiction. A must read'. – Neville Southall.
