FROM HELL TO HEALING He was a skid row derelict of the lowest order, a vanilla-guzzling. pill-popping bed-wetting alcoholic bum. It wasn't just his life; it was his calling. He prowled the meanest streets of Vancouver, stalking a bottle of vodka like a lion stalks a zebra. When he finally hit bottom, he hit it with a raging intensity that most people can't even imagine, much less survive. Then, having reached Hell, he turned around and climbed out. Bottlehopper is the memoir of Bob Edwards, who embraced alcoholism only to reject it and go on to become a wealthy, successful businessman. Warm, tender and tragic, Bottlehopper is filled with the pain of setbacks, the joy of victory, unexpected humor, surprising sources of help, and tales of friends who failed to escape their own nightmares. It is an inspiring story that stresses success over failure, hope over despair.
