Here is an introduction to my next book covering addiction

Book cover- ChatGPT

15 Years an Addict is a powerful, unfiltered journey through America’s opioid crisis—told through the eyes of someone who lived it. More than just a memoir, this book is a practical survival guide for those caught in the grip of addiction and the loved ones trying to help them.

Author KM Schaeffer spent over a decade battling heroin and opioid dependency, cycling through relapses, withdrawals, and the revolving doors of detox and rehab. In 15 Years an Addict, he opens up with brutal honesty about the trauma, chaos, and systemic failures that define addiction in modern America. But more importantly, he shares the tools that finally helped him break free.

This book doesn’t just tell you what addiction feels like—it shows you what recovery can look like when approached with the right mindset, resources, and support. Blending personal experience with the latest research, I outline a range of science-backed strategies, medications, and cutting-edge peptides that played a crucial role in his recovery. From MAT (medication-assisted treatment) and harm reduction to lesser-known yet promising compounds like DSIP, Selank, and Memantine, readers will find actionable insights grounded in real-world results.

Whether you’re struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or working on the front lines of this crisis, 15 Years an Addict offers raw truth, hope, and a roadmap to healing.
