Some men break. Others bottle it up until it explodes.
Logan is a father, a felon, a fighter, and a man running out of options. Trapped between the weight of his past and the chaos of his present, he’s trying to hold his fractured family together—one cigarette burn, one relapse, one broken promise at a time.
Working four hours from home and living in a roach-infested motel, Logan sends every dime back to the woman who’s supposed to be caring for their son. But addiction, betrayal, and secrets keep clawing their way in. And when the line between survival and surrender blurs, Logan finds himself standing on the edge—fighting not just for custody of his child, but for custody of his soul.
Told in raw, unfiltered prose and inspired by true events, Bottled Up is a gripping portrait of addiction, fatherhood, and the quiet war men fight when no one’s watching.
This is not a redemption story. This is what it looks like when a man decides to keep fighting anyway
