The Descent into Hell: One Man's Journey Through Addiction
Brett Douglas grew up feeling like an outsider-the kid who sang "Jesus Christ Superstar" while others recited nursery rhymes, who wore Barry Manilow t-shirts when his peers worshipped Van Halen. This sense of otherness primed him for what came next. At twelve, he discovered his parents' marijuana stash and transformed it into a business opportunity, selling to classmates. "Almost overnight, I transformed from unknown loser to king of seventh grade," he writes. This early connection between substances and social acceptance became the foundation of his identity. Weekend adventures with friends Richie and Burgess established a pattern of substance-fueled mischief. But everything changed in that 7-11 parking lot when his friend Dana pulled out cocaine and needles. While his friends declined, Brett eagerly accepted. He describes that first intravenous hit as "the love of my life"-the moment he crossed through a door that "operates like a heart valve." Once passed through, there was no going back. What begins as experimentation becomes a life-defining force. That first needle marks the beginning of a decades-long battle where drugs will eventually trump everything-family, career, morality, and even survival itself.
