Overview

Once lost to addiction, a father finds a new life and a second chance with his son. Alternately heartwarming and hope-inspiring, Dopefiend proves the adage that the disease of addiction tears families apart, but recovery can put families back together again. Gritty and graphic, this father's journey will touch your heart and make you smile. Tim Elhajj contributes an original voice to the chorus of recovery writers in this bold memoir.
