Memoirs of a Crackhead (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781976454585)

Crack. The most terrifying word during the 80s besides Hammer pants. It destroyed families, friends, marriages, churches, pimps, prostitutes, Mayors and Senators and the life of one inner city kid from a middle-class family, Russell Tolson, Jr. In this unflinching memoir, Russell takes us where no one has ever dared to go before - inside the mind of a crackhead. With vivid, first-hand accounts of his sordid adventures in 'Crack-ington DC' during the 80s and 90s, the peak of the crack epidemic, Russell recounts how the powerful little white rocks almost sent him to the grave. His stories are so poignant, funny, ridiculous and downright entertaining, they'll make you shake your head and... wanna smoke some crack. BUT DON'T SMOKE CRACK!Just read this book instead and you will be catapulted into the dark, steamy, seductive, sell-a-door-knob-for-a-hit world that Russell and his wife, Kathy, found themselves trapped in. They reveal their week-long binge sessions, near-death experiences, shocking 'come to Jesus' moments, and how God healed and delivered them in an instant. Now a church minister, Russell's prison-to-the-pulpit story proves not even crack is too powerful for God. "You can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you."
