Description

Brandon Novak showed all the signs of becoming a highly successful, rebellious young man. He was a professional skateboarder in his early teens, rubbing elbows with the likes of Bucky Lasek and Tony Hawk. In his late teens and twenties, he was a regular on world-famous TV shows like Viva La Bam and Jackass.


But drugs and alcohol were always lurking in the shadows for Novak, and he soon fell head-first into the dark trap of his addictions. He endured bouts of homelessness, committed every petty crime you could imagine, and even resorted to sex work to feed his addictions.


The stats would suggest Brandon Novak shouldn’t be sober right now. He probably shouldn’t even be alive. But not only is he alive with 9 years of sobriety under his belt, he’s found a deep and meaningful purpose in his life, running his own rehab centers and taking care of his elderly mother.


This is the hilarious and heartening story of how Brandon Novak turned it all around. And trust me, if he can do it, so can anyone else.

again, a good show, I would offer, however, again missing a fine point. DRUGS Speaking most specifically about chemical compounds that have psychotropic properties. Do not demonize drugs. Considering conservative ingestion, drugs can be fun, can be exciting, and can be intellectually stimulating. Obviously, they can be abused when over-consumed or ingested too often. The same can be said about sex. The same can be said about food. The same can be said about virtually every human endeavor.
