From rock bottom to recovery the son of veteran broadcaster Bill Moyers chronicles his life-shattering battle with addiction and the hard-won fight for recovery
William Cope Moyers has come a long, long way. In 1994, he lay on the floor of an Atlanta crack house. His father had put together a search party. His worried family waited at home where Moyers had left them when he embarked on yet another binge. From that lowly, drug-hazed night, Moyers went on to become an executive at the Hazelden Foundation and travels far and wide to talk about addiction and treatment.
Broken tells the story of what happened between then and now from growing up the privileged son of Bill Moyers to his descent into alcoholism and drug addiction, his numerous stabs at getting clean, his many relapses, and how he managed to survive. Harrowing and wrenching, Broken paints a picture of a man with every advantage who nonetheless found himself spiraling into a dark and life-threatening abyss. But unlike other memoirs of its kind, Broken emerges into the clear light of Moyers's recovery as he dedicates his life to changing the politics of addiction. Beautifully written with a deep underlying spirituality, this is a missive of hope for the scores of Americans struggling with addiction and an honest and inspiring account that proves the spiritual insight that we are strongest at the broken places.

About The Book Worm Bookstore, LLC Georgia, United States
The Book Worm Bookstore originally opened its doors in October 2005. With the owner ready to retire, new ownership happened in November 2020. We are home to over 30,000 titles - both new and used. Although the majority of our inventory is online we do have in-store items not listed. Please contact the store directly if there is something you don't see.
We just joined Biblio in May 2020, and with the change of ownership, are finding some inconsistencies with our database. Since items come and go daily, we may have a higher rate of rejecting orders so our rating may not be stellar for a bit. Don't hold it against us as we are working diligently to get our database updated. Thank you for supporting your local community bookstore.
