My harrowing voyage led me to numerous rehabs, mental institutions, the streets, homes of sexual predators, and jail. Ultimately, it left me with a brain hemorrhage and multiple organ failure from lying in one spot on a street musician’s dirty rug for a month, as acid from my urine burned holes through my skin. When I was admitted to the hospital on January 2nd 2014, I weighed 78 pounds, had a blood alcohol level of .503, and a blood staph infection. My doctor told me that I wouldn’t have survived the night without medical intervention.
This book is both juicy and nauseating, as it chronicles my self-destructive spirals into the depths of insanity, and the spiritual void that accompanies addiction. It’s also about how I found a spiritual path to forgiveness that led to my recovery. While it is not for the faint at heart, Human On Fire is a redemption story full of honesty, hope, and passion for survival.
