Rex Knowlands life in 1970s Sydney, Australia, might at first sound appealing: While attending University in Sydney, he was a boxer, biker, and footballer who spent his time taking drugs, having sex and lots of fun.
But after traveling the hippie trail throughout Asia, he ended up a heroin addict, which led him constantly needing his next fix. At times, he even contemplated robbery to get money to fund his addiction.
He finally got clean after entering rehabilitation with the Salvation Army. In this cautionary tale, he outlines what led him down the path to addiction and how he beat the odds by living a successful second life as a high school teacher, a rehabilitation centre director and a thirty three year career in the NSW Public Service.
Whether youre battling an addiction or trying to help a loved one find a path that leads out of the darkness, youll be inspired by the candid tale of recovery, redemption, and success in To Hell with Smack. Rex provides an insight into what it takes to achieve long term recovery from addiction.
