For those who have chased relief but found ruin . . . this is a story of redemption.

For decades, Brian Harris lived in blackouts, chaos, and shame. A husband, father, and small-town businessman, he looked successful on the outside while addiction hollowed him out on the inside. He drank to disappear, and nearly succeeded.

Sobriety saved his life, but it didn’t make everything easy. When tragedy struck his family, Brian had to face his darkest moment without the bottle that once numbed it all. What carried him through was faith, family, and the simple tools of recovery he had learned to practice day after day.

This book is more than a memoir. It’s a survival guide. With unfiltered honesty, dark humor, and hard-won wisdom. Those same tools can help you or someone you love get sober and stay that way.

Are you tired of waking up sick, ashamed, and wondering how you’ll make it through another day?

Do you love someone who drinks too much and don’t know how to help?

Do you want a life that feels free, steady, and worth living while sober?

Brian’s story is proof that laughter, sobriety, and life itself are waiting on the other side.

It’s never too late to start over.

Brian blacked out the first time he drank at 13 and chased that escape for over two decades until he finally walked into treatment at 35 and found a new way to live. Recovery didn’t fix everything, but it gave him the tools to face whatever came next. A car guy, born and bred, and a mess of contradictions by nature, Brian spent years chasing success on the outside while falling apart on the inside. He got sober once and by the grace of God, he’s stayed that way.

Today, Brian lives by three mandates he believes God gave him:

Help people get sober.

Help women escape domestic violence.

Help people get to heaven.

He lives in Arizona with his wife, Fran, surrounded by family, grace, and the kind of hope you only find when you’ve lost everything and still believe.
