Fixed is a darkly comedic memoir that spans my unsupervised youth, drug and alcohol addiction, bank robbery, life in prison and ultimately my release and re-entry into my life’s new and sober orbit.
I grew up with alcoholic parents trapped inside their own lonely skins, a painful childhood full of cold shoulders and broken furniture. I burst onto the drug scene at age eleven and thrived before slowly finding out that it wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. With addiction taking over and dictating my every move, I tried to make sense of it all while gathering five unwanted felonies along the way.
At thirty-three, after a long string of bank robberies and my bad guy impersonation had run its course, I was brought back to life with the gift of prison and given the opportunity to experience a new childhood that I could have only imagined while growing up in Manville. Upon release, I learned that the universe is a kind and forgiving place, often strange and funny with plenty for everyone as long as I don’t forget where I came from.
“I have never laughed out loud so many times in a single book before–it’s that funny. This was one of those reads I thought about when I was away, a faint, nagging longing to return ASAP to the wild, wacky and occasionally achingly poignant world of Doug Poitter. But even the sad moments didn’t last long. The author’s razor-sharp wit easily lifted me up again, never morose despite plenty of tragedy. I didn’t want this book to end, and I want the next one right away. Reading this book is a major attitude adjustment, no matter your circumstances, for the better.” 5 star Amazon review
