This is Not a Suicide Letter

In this searingly honest account about addiction, Martin Douglas places his life under a microscope to consider the reasons for his relationship with narcotics and the devastating effect they have had not only on himself but on his family, his friends, and his very concept of what it means to live. After a cataclysmic overdose, two demonic entities present Martin with a panoply of pivotal events in his life, events which have culminated in a choice between living and dying.Throughout this narrative, which is in some places jarring, in others nostalgic, two options are recovery, and a perpetual struggle to quiet the voices within, or relapse, and the possibility of no return. This book is a no holds barred autobiography, an analysis almost, in which the author, with painful candidness and a poetic slant, is forced to look his addiction in its grinning face.
