PAINFULLY FUNNY. UNCOMFORTABLY HONEST. ODDLY INSPIRING.
For more than twenty years, Joshua Deen was a musician in the Los Angeles nightlife scene, which is a polite way of saying he was a professional drinker.
Last Call, Stupid is the darkly funny story of how a life built around bars, bands, and bad decisions slowly turned into something that made everything worse, and how he finally got out: no rehab, no 12-step program, and no new identity built around the thing he walked away from.
Whether you’re sober curious, trying to stay sober, or trying to understand someone you love who can’t put the glass down, this is an honest look at what a life centered on alcohol really costs, and what it’s like on the other side.
Inside:
Stories from two decades of LA nightlife, told with the humor they deserve
An insider’s look at the mindset of someone deep in a drinking problem
How he quit on his own terms, and what he learned about labels, habits, and the stories we tell ourselves
What changes for your relationships, health, and finances when the drinking stops
Tired of the nonsense alcohol causes? Joshua isn’t here to tell you how to live. He’s here to tell you what happened to him, and what he found when the drinking stopped.
