Fifteen Years an Addict

Tips and Tricks for Escaping Addiction

By: KM Schaeffer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

15 Years an Addict is a powerful, unfiltered journey through America’s opioid crisis—told through the eyes of someone who lived it. More than just a memoir, this book is a practical survival guide for those caught in the grip of addiction and the loved ones trying to help them.

After spending over a decade battling heroin and opioid dependency, cycling through relapses, withdrawals, and the revolving doors of detox and rehab, I was finally to pull it together. In 15 Years an Addict, I open up with brutal honesty about the trauma, chaos, and systemic failures that define addiction in modern America. But more importantly, I share the tools that finally helped me break free from the daily grind that is addiction.

This book doesn’t just tell you what addiction feels like—it shows you what recovery can look like when approached with the right mindset, resources, and support. Blending personal experience with the latest research, I outline a range of science-backed strategies, medications, and cutting-edge peptides that played a crucial role in his recovery. From MAT (medication-assisted treatment) and harm reduction to lesser-known yet promising compounds like DSIP, Selank, and Memantine, readers will find actionable insights grounded in real-world results.

Whether you’re struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or working on the front lines of this crisis, 15 Years an Addict offers raw truth, hope, and a roadmap to healing.
