Synopsis

Don't Forget Me is a survival manual and a lifeline for those whose lives have been touched by substance use and addiction.

With the pervasiveness of drugs today and death by overdose as the leading cause of death for people under fifty in the US, almost everyone has been directly or indirectly affected by this drug epidemic. Loving someone with substance abuse can be terrifying. Steve Grant shares what he learned during his own difficult journey to encourage and guide other parents who are living with children who are struggling with substance abuse.

Don't Forget Me tells the story of Steve's two sons, Chris and Kelly, who took distinctly different paths to the same outcome: death by overdose. Steve reveals not only a highlight reel of the things he got right but takes an honest look at the mistakes he made along the way to help other parents avoid those same mistakes. Don't Forget Me offers time-tested, practical suggestions to assure family members of those struggling with substance abuse they have not lost their mind and encourages them to find hope—even on the darkest days.

I read this book because I know the author; we went to high school together. We weren't really close friends, so we lost track of each other after high school. I initially learned about his incredibly, heart-breaking story through a mutual friend and then again through Facebook. It is really hard to......more

This feels more like a personal story than a manual for addiction recovery. I think most non-users that have lost family to this disease already know the high cost of addiction and I don't think there were practical ways to do something about it. In the end I thought "sucks to be him but what about......more
