My story is filled with ugly memories of times when I tried to fight back but ended up in the same place. Addiction knows that all it had to do is wait patiently for us to do that next “hit,” and we are right back to doing its ugly bidding. I am a guy who needed help but didn’t know how to ask for help. Being a veteran, I wasn’t accustomed to showing weakness, so I bottled up everything, and my life soon revolved around alcohol and drugs. I lost control and was stuck in a never-ending, self-destructive cycle that was going to kill me if I didn’t change.
In this deeply personal book, JR Weaver has crafted a raw insight into his life and how he’s been affected by substance abuse over the past 20 years. He details his recovery process and how he’s dealt with loss.
The Addiction Manifesto by J R Weaver was published by Palmetto Publishing on 6 July 2021.

About the Book
JR Weaver lives in Charleston, South Carolina. He is a veteran of the United States Army and now specializes in helping other veterans adapt and adjust to the civilian world while dealing with issues such as PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. Jerry was like many veterans, lost and confused after finishing his time in uniform. His life quickly spiralled out of control, and he was at the breaking point. It was during his recovery and regrowth period where Jerry discovered the healing power of writing. He began writing down his thoughts and processing feelings and has gone on to become a staunch advocate for veteran’s addiction and recovery.
