“Polluted. My sober journey” is a self- help book written by Dirk Foster. He takes on his personal story to explain the way he overcame the issue of alcoholism. I dare to say that from the very beginning the title of this book caught my attention and then it was fully held throughout the reading.
Undoubtedly, this book serves as a useful resource material for reflection on the idea of how important is to change bad habits on time. Overcoming addiction is a really long process, sometimes even, a life process. In this case, the author goes from being destructed to being happy when he finally achieves sobriety. We can learn how to be happy by controlling our mindset and calming our mind.
Through an interactive form of narration, the author invites us to ask some questions to ourselves, he makes us think deep and he helps us break with things that do not let us be happy. I would thoroughly recommend this book. I found it really helpful and inspiring.

Dirk Foster describes his way out of addictions. Written in the first person, Foster is honest and self-critical of his past lifestyle.
We learn from the book that he was 42 years old, broke and lived alone in Los Angeles and he would drink every day, smoked drugs and was all the time around other alcoholics and addicts. These habits almost destroyed his life since he spent entire decades immersed in the dark sides of life.
What Foster wants to transmit in this book is basically what he learned after so many years of not having a healthy lifestyle, what he learned about the process of recovery and sobriety and how he could finally get his life back and start all over again.
It does not matter if you are not an alcoholic or an addict, this book can teach you a lot in case you need this knowledge one day or if you know a friend or relative who is going through difficult times.

The author of Polluted! My Sober Journey: Alcohol, Addiction and The 7 Stages to Getting Clean has 12 years of sobriety to draw on to write this guide for anyone interested in exploring sobriety. The book is full of anecdotal stories that could be very helpful to anyone hoping to get sober (from either alcohol or drug abuse).
Getting clean can be a very scary experience and this book can guide anyone hoping to start down that path understand what they will be facing. It brings a lot of unknowns to light that can alleviate concerns and help someone getting sober or direct someone helping a loved get sober.

Another book I had to read for class. It’s short but sweet and gives an inside look at what addiction is like. Major slay💅🏼
