Product Description
In the tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous, High Bottom Drunk: A Novel…and the Truth about Addiction & Recovery melds three stories (what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now) together into one extraordinary tale of addiction and recovery.
“What it was like” chronicles Steve Campbell’s downward slide toward his alcoholic/addict “bottom.” Along the way, this so-called “golden boy” loses his Midas touch, but not his staunch denial.
“What happened” patiently watches Steve hit that bottom hard enough to crack his denial and offer him an honest look at himself. Steve hitting bottom is not a pretty sight, but it’s very, very real.
“What it’s like now” follows Steve’s upward climb toward recovery and spiritual redemption. Though rocky and painful in spots, his journey is remarkable and quite beautiful.
Because High Bottom Drunk does not fit neatly in any particular writing genre, it has been given many labels. Of those, “Historical Self-help Fiction” best describes this exceptional work.

For anyone caught in the struggles of alcoholism and/or drug addiction, this is a good book for you. I fell in love with the addict in this book, Steve Campbell, because Roper made him so real. I could relate to almost every thought he had or suffered through. It may be a “novel” but the information is true, heartfelt and touching. If you’re in recovery, thinking about recovery or hungover and crying with a life of unmanageable proportions, read this book and find your courage within as Mr. Campbell did. You’re worth it!

I really enjoyed beginning to read this book. It was very informative and made smooth easy reading. However, evidently some other drunk needed to read it more than me and stole my damn book. Will have to order another one because it is definitely worth finishing!
