For Every Mile of Road There is Two Miles of Ditch

Addiction and adventure. Crime and punishment. Hardship and challenge. Dick Richardson has been to hell and back again, struggling through addiction and recovery and coming out on top. His life as a sailor introduced him to the rougher side of life, but his own bad decisions sucked him into a downward spiral through the pain of drug and alcohol addiction. Poignant and raw, Richardson's memoir leaves no detail unspoken. Sharing the gritty reality of his struggle for healing acts as both a warning and an encouragement: life is tough. But it doesn't have to stay that way.
