Endless lines of coke, and enough alcohol to kill most people. A fractured skull, two rapes, five broken hearts, and cancer. Most people would never make it out alive ... then there's Heather Gaines.
Heather survived it all-and so much more-in this triumphant story of a life once stolen by drugs, booze, and some very dangerous choices.
Am I Dead Yet? chronicles the life of Heather Gaines, a carefree California teen who is torn away from her beloved alcoholic father, only to become one herself. From her adventurous globetrotting career as a yacht chef through her years in the restaurant business, her substance abuse escalated to frightening levels, teetering her on the edge of death too many times to count. But she always believed there was HOPE.
Again and again, Heather's earthy sense of humor and remarkably resilient character pull her through innumerable situations fraught with danger and uncertainty, from the US to the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. Few people could have survived what she did, yet today she is a healthy, beautiful, grateful woman who views every new day as a precious gift.
A compelling, inspirational must-read for anyone (or the loved one of anyone) struggling with a drug or alcohol problem.
