{"product_id":"book-1vtd","title":"The Forty Year Bender","description":"I am living proof a man can spend four decades wrecking himself and still crawl back into daylight. If that isn't hope, it's at least better odds than I ever had.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't drink? I drank like a drought. Don't take drugs? I ran a pharmacy. Get healthy? I stayed awake until dawn, smoked like wreckage, doubled the cocaine and treated water as folklore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeven rehabs. Two accidental overdoses. Arrests here and overseas. Car wrecks, courtrooms, lost businesses, a broken marriage, financial ruin, and years of creative self-annihilation. There's nothing noble about that list.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut here's why this book exists: if I could survive it, you can survive your version of it. I rebuilt myself. Changed careers. Developed discipline. Brought movement into my life. Ate food that wasn't poison. And most shocking of all, I found clarity of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot a resurrection in fire. Just a man digging himself out of a hole he spent years tunnelling. Still bruised. Still ridiculous. But finally standing.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67038001692976,"sku":"BD1vtd","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1vtd-Square-cover.jpg?v=1782112528","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1vtd","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
