SarahW said This book came in good shape and on time. This book came in good shape and on time. It's one of the more interesting addiction memoirs, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone interested in addiction/recovery.. "Very Personal to me!!!" according to Raul Solis Jr.. This Book became very personal to me and have read it twice!

His stomach would churn and the diarrhea would shoot out of him like the magma spewing out from a volcano. If he got a "hot shot" it wouldn't really matter because he'd be deader than Kelsey's nuts, but when you're dead you really don't care. What he did worry about was getting "cotton shot rush." If a minuscule piece of bacteria laden cotton fiber he used to filter impurities out of his heroin got loose and entered his bloodstream well, let's just say the pain and agony were indescribable

English "Deeply moving .What s Left of Us is a rush of blood to the head and heart, the kind only true art can deliver." --Andre Dubus"An amazing story not just of survival, but redemption." Mary McGarry MorrisRichie Farrell grew up in a working-class Irish neighborhood in Massachusetts. A gritty, hauntingly written tale of a descent into hell and a slow, uncertain climb out of it, What's Left Of Us is a true story of redemption: of how low a man can get, and how hard he must fight to escape a shattered life"Fa
