One out of every three families in America is affected by the disease of addiction. Most of these families not only fail in understanding the nature of the disease, but also fail in understanding the decisions and reasoning made by addicts while in active addiction. My name’s Michael Reisinger and I am a 34 year old drug addict. I went from the best schools money could pay for to prison, in the short span of four years.Cocaine Daze is the first book in a series of memoirs I’m writing on my addiction, entitled the Doors of Addiction Series. The book begins explaining the joys of being young, smoking pot, and partying. Hell, that’s the same route many young adults start out taking, and it’s probably the same route you or someone in your family tried. After dropping out of college and returning home to Memphis from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, I met the girl of my dreams (Liz), and fell in love. She was everything and more I could’ve asked for in a woman. She signified what was right in life, and everything I wanted and desired in a relationship. During this same timeframe, while dealing pot, I also met a black man from the other side of the tracks, whom I looked up to and ended up emulating (Malik)- A prominent cocaine dealer in Memphis.Between the pages, my story unfolds.Woman of my dreams or my new drug of choice?Not only do families gain the insight of seeing how and why addicts make the decisions they do, but addicts closely relate and even sympathize for the transpiring battle that unfolds. After all, this isn’t just my struggle, it’s the struggle of many. The thought processes. The rationalizations. The brutality.It’s all there, littering the pages and it only gets deeper though out the series.Every book gets a little darker, more serious, and even more real.My writing style…I admit, it’s different; original. It will have you on the edge of your seat. Gripping. Holding. Waiting. You’ll feel as if you’re in the moment, wishing reality to whisk you elsewhere, but it won’t. You’ll be compelled to go through it just as I did. This is the story of my addiction.
