Strung Out: One Last Hit and Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me

IN THIS DEEPLY PERSONAL AND ILLUMINATING MEMOIR ABOUT HER 15-YEAR STRUGGLE WITH HEROIN, KHAR SHEDS PROFOUND LIGHT ON THE OPIOID CRISIS AND GIVES A VOICE TO THE OVER TWO MILLION PEOPLE IN AMERICA CURRENTLY BATTLING WITH THIS ADDICTION.

Growing up in LA, Erin Khar hid behind a picture-perfect childhood filled with excellent grades, a popular group of friends, and horseback riding. After first experimenting with her grandmother's expired painkillers, Khar started using heroin when she was 13. The drug allowed her to escape from the pressures to be perfect and suppress all the heavy feelings she couldn't understand.

This fiercely honest memoir explores how heroin shaped every aspect of her life for the next 15 years and details the various lies she told herself, and others, about her drug use. With enormous heart and wisdom, she shows how the shame, and stigma surrounding addiction which fuels demand and deceit, is so often what keeps addicts from getting help. There is no one path to recovery, and for Khar, it was in motherhood that she found the inner strength and self-forgiveness to quit heroin and fight for her life.

'STRUNG OUT' is a life-affirming story of resilience while also a gripping investigation into the psychology of addiction and why people turn to opioids in the first place.
