Shitfaced: Musings of a Former Drunk

Meer over het boek

Seamus Kirst's memoir delves into his tumultuous journey through addiction, beginning with a near-fatal overdose at 13. By 16, he was already entrenched in rehab, and despite achieving academic success as valedictorian, he faced multiple hospitalizations for alcohol poisoning. His time at Brown University saw a sharp decline as he experimented with various drugs, highlighting a dangerous rationalization of his self-destructive behavior. This narrative serves not only as a personal reflection but also as a cautionary tale for others grappling with similar struggles.
