Product Description

Product Description

Dead Drunk is the moving and powerful story of a teenager who lost himself to alcohol addiction after the breakdown of his parents' marriage.

Paul Garrigan has written an honest (and often darkly humorous) account of his alcoholism.

His adventures took him from the quiet suburbs of Dublin to begging on the streets of London, getting paid to drink in Oxford, and swigging illegal booze in Saudi Arabia, before finally ending up in a remote Thai village where he fully succumbed to his addiction, and was determined to drink himself to death.

While surfing the Internet one night he came across a highly unorthodox detox programme being offered by Buddhist monks, and in a last-ditch attempt at sobriety, he set out on what he was sure would be his strangest and most difficult journey yet.

Dead Drunk is a story of redemption and of how one man found sobriety. It is a story of hope.

4.0 out of 5 stars A deeply personal journey to recovery. 5 Nov 2012
By Anthony Wells - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Soon as I read the first page it was hard to put down, you just wanted to know what happens to this guy in which you become close too as you read the book. I related with him in a certain way as I have my own personal struggles and
eastern philosophy/mysticism interests me also. I would recommend this book to anyone that feels that themselves have drifted off the path and needed an inspirational boost to do something. Its only you that can change your own personal circumstances.
5.0 out of 5 stars interesting, fresh, why not 12 April 2013

Why not, if it works? A distinct, a very different point of view, a highly different experience. Buddhism in a bottle or, better, the way how this gre
at culture copes with it. After a whole series of AA chronicles and conflating recovery memoirs, something new, not yet encountered, but not totally unexpected. A valuable addition to the eternal human battle against addiction. I can recommend the book from the bottom of my heart. Not only as an addict in recovery...
