Synopsis
A (former) skeptic works the 12-step program. &“An incredibly funny and interesting guide on how to successfully unpack one&’s mind when it&’s overpacked.&”—Amber Tamblyn, Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress This smart and snide book is a testament to the effectiveness of the 12-Step Program, a path to recovery that Bucky Sinister never expected to go down (and work). As a poet, author, and comedian, Sinister doesn&’t hold back from speaking the truth in this book. He speaks bluntly about addiction and his own struggles with it. Sinister appeals to those who are turned off by the usual recovery self-helps. He talks straight to readers who struggle to buy into the effectiveness of the 12-Step Program—particularly those like Sinister, an atheist, who have problems with the &“higher power&” concept intertwined with the program.Get Up presents itself as self-help, but don&’t expect it to have the same tone as others you&’ve read. The book is full of Sinister&’s comedic touch, colorful language, and stories from &“scumbags&” that contain life-saving wisdom. An unabashed testimony to Sinister&’s personal journey to sobriety and those of others, this recovery book is sure to educate, entertain, and inspire. Readers of books such as The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober; Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions; and Staying Sober Without God will find further guidance and inspiration in Get Up, which should be the next book for you. &“Step 13: Read Get Up, do what Bucky says, and find your inner A-Team character. And if you&’re a &‘normie,&’ buy this book for your friend who thinks they are too cool to get sober.&”—Jen Kirkman, stand-up comedian, actor, and writer
