From The Beehive Fiend:

¨My kids are packing their backpacks to leave, while I look on anxiously, trying to suppress the jitters in my veins. Truth is, I am restless for a hit of meth. I manage to tear from myself a reluctant goodbye and head to my car, where I'd be sleeping from now on. Will I ever see them again? As I slide into the driver's seat, fear and loathing churn in my gut. The relentless demands of my addiction have wrecked my life, again. If I don't recover from this relapse, I'll lose everything.¨

When drug use swept across Ogden, Utah, Daniel was a high school dropout who got caught in the undercurrent. Years of a crippling heroin, prescription drug, and later meth addiction wreaked havoc on his health and his family. But after a couple of felony convictions, several prison sentences, a few runs from parole, and an almost fatal relapse, Daniel fights back. He draws up a plan, reaches out, and starts turning things around.

His first mission is: ¨I won't use for the rest of the day.¨ This is his true story about getting clean and getting his life back, one piece at a time.

This is a page-turning autobiography that reaches out with heart and insight to provide hope for anyone caught in the cycle of addiction. Useful and practical, it offers a real guide to recovery from someone who went through the thick of it and emerged on the other side. Also includes flashback reflections from his mother, Stephene, speaking to her challenges as a parent watching her son fall to drugs and the 'excruciatingly difficult' choices she had to make for his recovery. Illustrated throughout with captivating AI-generated graphics.

¨A very direct and engaging account of drug use, uninhibited and yet endearing. It's what we've always wanted to understand about addiction without even knowing it.¨ ~ Alejandro Carlos Calero
