The Last Shot: From Addiction and Athletics to a Life of Abundance - Paperback

by John Fleming (Author)

You don't want to save a person you've been taught to despise.

Until age thirty-five, John Fleming lived with the quiet weight of a voice that was not his own, the persistent echo of his father's disapproval and a constant reminder of unmet expectations. Disillusioned, he drank to escape a shame so deep that he believed he didn't deserve a better life. But when the chaos of active addiction threatened to steal everything, John found an unexpected bridge to survival. It wasn't self-love that gave him strength; it was the faces of his wife and daughters, and his stubborn refusal to let the game of life end in a blowout.

The Last Shot: From Addiction and Athletics to a Life of Abundance follows a gripping journey back from the wreckage of alcoholism. It is the story of a man who "traded one thing for everything" by finding his own path to sobriety. Raw and profoundly honest, this memoir is a testament to the power within each of us to make our way in recovery. While we cannot change how our story began, we can always rewrite how it will end.
