{"product_id":"the-recidivist-mick-southerland-9781533259059","title":"The Recidivist: Addicted to Rehab: A shocking novel about alcoholism, rehab, and redemption.","description":"The Recidivist is a satirical assessment of alcoholism, rehab, and redemption. A dark and often humorous journey through the rehab experience, with a stark perspective on the nature of addiction and trauma and the difficulties in sustainably addressing both. Through the retelling of other patient's stories, the protagonist moves through the treatment regime of an idyllic rehabilitation center set in the Arizona desert. Feeling part high-school and part prison, the patients try to deal with what haunts them through varieties of therapy, medication, spirituality, short-lived romances, rule defiance, or relapses into old habits. Without judgement or saccharine positivity, this book doesn't sugar-coat the harsh realities of real-world outcomes or preach advice. It feels like a painful and honest snapshot of one man's experience, broadened by the stories of those around him. This book is guaranteed to instill empathy toward those struggling with addiction. The Recidivist: Addicted to Rehab is an enlightening read for anyone who wishes to gain perspective on mental issues, rehabilitation, or simply life in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mick Southerland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1533259054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781533259059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.55d","brand":"Mick Southerland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44584068219135,"sku":"9781533259059","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26354cb1-0555-44da-ab4d-d6f34745649d.jpg?v=1701885124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-recidivist-mick-southerland-9781533259059","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
