Running Ransom Road: Confronting the Past, One Marathon at a Time | Caleb Daniloff

pick

I think this book was mentioned in another I read about running. It tells about the authors journey through alcoholism and running as a means of healing. The book tells about different races he ran while also telling personal stories from his past. Enjoyable read.

Book #86
4/5
This memoir offers an in-depth account of a father's experience with his son's addiction. Sheff did a fantastic job of combining and balancing personal experience with statistical and objective research about drugs, parenting, interventions, and recovery, to name a few.

Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines | Nic Sheff

My cousin recommended this book to me after we watched “Beautiful Boy” on Prime.

CBee It‘s a good one - painful, but good. The book “Beautiful Boy” is also really powerful 💚 8mo

Booksandtea23 @CBee it seems really interesting. I grew up reading a lot of books by Ellen Hopkins so it‘s interesting to read someone‘s first hand experience and not a work of fiction. 8mo

CBee @Paristhesavvyreader I haven‘t read anything by Hopkins, but her books do look interesting! 8mo

Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction | Maia Szalavitz

Upside. My director gave everyone at work a book to read and 2 days off to read it.
Downside. I have to read this book. 😆 (I hate reading work-related stuff. 🙈)

Blueberry Good reviews. Goodreads has it at 4.18 stars. It must be job related? 9mo

merelybookish @Blueberry Yes, job-related. I work at a center that serves women who have addictions. 9mo

Prairiegirl_reading I‘m with you. I struggle with assigned reading too. This does sound interesting, but I don‘t work with people with addictions. 9mo

Tamra Definitely a catch 22! 9mo
