Patrick Dougher's memoir offers a blend of humor and darkness in chronicling his journey through addiction. With outrageous anecdotes—a near-death experience, encounters with eccentrics, including a great-aunt who tragically sat on his kitten—Dougher paints a vivid picture of a life filled with both wild adventures and deep pain. Despite 20 years of substance abuse, including heavy drinking and drug use, he found recovery, emerging as a successful artist living in Paris. His reflections capture the duality of addiction, filled with moments of joy intertwined with profound suffering.
Dougher's life encompasses both the exhilaration of unique experiences and the profound pain of addiction, illustrating the stark contrast of being an addict.
Despite his 20 years of substance abuse, Dougher attributes his well-being to a complex combination of circumstances and his own resilience.
