Description
Drug overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50. Addiction is a disease, not a moral failing and it affects 1 out of 8 American adults.
Pregame is a young woman's perspective of addiction in the United States. King shares her experience and observations through her personal story, the stories of others in recovery, and policy issues in the U.S. that prevent addressing addiction in a productive manner. The book speaks to the recovery community as well as politicians and lawmakers that have the authority to empower stories of survival, using them to inspire change.
In this book, you'll learn about addiction and recovery in America, including:
A personal story of recovery
An account of addiction throughout the city of Philadelphia
Inspiring stories of young people in recovery from drugs and alcohol
This book was written for those suffering or who have suffered through addiction, for those whose loved one's have met with irreversible consequences, or for those who seek to understand the truth behind addiction and what it entails.
