A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food and eBay, that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first steps into recovery
“This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain but from the mud...My qualification is not that I am better than you but I am worse.” ―Russell Brand
With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his fourteen years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering along the full spectrum of addiction―from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work, stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “Why are you addicted?” but "What pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running―into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong person’s arms?"
Russell has been in all the twelve-step fellowships going, he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and a practiced yogi―and while he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous bestsellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a recovery plan, but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.
If this book can help me. It can help anybody. I hated the idea of getting help the way my parents would have.I hated the idea of going back to a God I left when I couldn’t function.I hated the idea of going to church and having to use church speech.And I hated the idea of giving up what I knew was killing me.Then a book that speaks the same language I do. Uses the same words I do. And outthinks me at ever step came into my view. This is the book that’s helping me go through recovery and to un f*** myself. I knew I needed it I just had no idea how much I wanted it.How much the pain of my past and what I was running from was killing my future by not letting me live in the present. All the reasons I never wanted to look back and just keep stuffing anything and everything into the void to get those moments of joy that turned to sorrow. How broken I wouldn’t let myself feel. And how much I thought fixing it would hurt.I’m still going through the book. I’m sure I will many more times. This isn’t a feel good in an hour then put it away kind of book. This is the manual for self realization. And that’s not something you put away until you have it down by heart.If you’re looking at this book thinking that it will cure you it won’t. But it will help you save you. And that’s all I needed. Now all I want is to live here and now and for the first time in over sixteen long years I’m starting to see the present not as something to escape from. But something to run to.If you wake up daily and try to forget the here and now this book is for you.If the moment the slightest problem in your life makes you run to a fix. It’s for you.If you made it this far. The book is for you.And thankfully the book was for me too.Russell... Congrats on another meaningful project! Russell Brand has become a tremendous force in my life, due to his podcasts, interviews and "Revolution" book... This book follows suit, seeming (so far) to be another honest, insightful, humorous, intelligent peek into what it means to be human... Or, i should say to be pure, unblemished Awareness playing out the human dance in our shared reality.Russell......If by some fluke you read this review, you have truly helped change the trajectory of my path, along with my obsession with the Bhagavad Gita, and Upanishads...and, may i recommend to you the Ashtavakra Gita? (If you have not read).Blessing!Ryan:SearchingHorizons@gmail.com.Helpful to fight bad habits Russell has hard-won advice to share, and I love his raw honesty and humor. I'm not an addict per se but have depression and some bad habits to manage (among them overeating, inactivity, and procrastination). This book helps me find (and maintain) the strength and positive energy to tackle them. You can open the book to practically any page to get a dose of help.
