I first met Joshua Rich when he attended a class I was teaching as a volunteer in the Arizona Maricopa County Jail system. When he explained his story, I knew it would make a positive impact as to prison sentencing, reform and rehabilitation. I asked him to write down the details of his life, and I would turn it into a book. He did so, and the book became two books. This is the first one.
It all started innocent enough. Just a little curiosity which developed into an out-of-control addiction. It could happen to anyone, and it has millions times. Drug addiction crosses all demographics. The events of this book started in Utah, swung to Arizona, dipped into Las Vegas and San Diego, then turned back to Utah.
The addict only does drugs to stop the excruciating withdrawals, which often requires a fix every hour, even at night, which is a $250 a day treadmill at $10 per fix. After losing job, car, home, savings, family, etc., a life of crime is the biggest option.
