Ryan Hampton spent ten years of his life addicted to Opioids, beginning with treatment for an ankle injury. Within that time he went from a successful job in politics to burning bridges as his prescriptions for pain medication evolved into a Heroin addiction. He has since been in recovery of his substance use disorder and he is using his experience to educate others on the reality of drug addiction. I recently read Dopesick by Beth Macy and was curious to read a more personal account of the Opioid epidemic. It is easily apparent from reading this book that Hampton is a gifted public speaker because most of this reads just like hard-hitting oration. Because of this, it can at times also be repetitive and the narrative could have been tightened up, but I think this is a much needed addition to the national conversation of the Opioid epidemic. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
