{"product_id":"9781630472351","title":"To Hell and Back: A Surgeon's Story of Addiction: 12 Prescriptions for Awareness","description":"\u003cp\u003e Here, in this raw account of one doctor's journey to Hell and back. . .is the \"prescription\" that could save the life of someone you love. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Addiction can affect anyone---of any occupation, education, or social class. The most common denominator among all addicts though. . .is that they once thought it could never happen to them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e As Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery at a large community hospital, Dr. Steve Heird was well aware of all this. Yet even as he wrote one illegal prescription after another---all for himself---he refused to believe he had a problem. He was in control. It could never happen to him. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e But the day came when---tired of playing a game of cat-and-mouse with the DEA, and finally ready to accept help with his problem---Steve had to face his family and go into rehab. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Everything that mattered to him---his family, his career, his lifestyle---was on the line, and he risked losing it all, to serve a ten-year prison sentence. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"That was one of the worst days of my life\" he now says. \"I had hurt the people I loved most. I felt overwhelmed with shame and self-loathing. How could I have screwed up so badly?\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e But there's a silver lining to the cloud that followed Dr. Heird all those years. His personal healing has led to the creation of a system of strategies for recognizing the warning signs---whether in yourself or others---and overcoming any addictions, along with the fear and self-doubt that feed them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In this entertaining and inspiring true-life account, and through his Prescriptions For Awareness healing program, Dr. Heird proves beyond a doubt that. . .NOBODY is entirely \"above the reach\" of addiction. . .and no addict need ever feel doomed to remain forever within its grasp. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morgan James Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184348709104,"sku":"9781630472351","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781630472351_p0.jpg?v=1763670261","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781630472351","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
