When That's Gone, That's It (Paperback)

A candid, brutal memoir born of pernicious masculinity and misplaced loyalty it interrogates the vagaries of abandonment, adolescence, sexuality, devil-worship, mental health, self-medication, judgment, and erm...the authenticity of feelings? His father got him a job as a mechanic but he'd wanted to be a dancer.

Navigating the challenging road to adulthood with alcohol had worked for a while, even if it did make him a bit squiffy; it just never occurred to him to stop until, eventually, drugs would solve what he thought was the biggest problem with drinking.

Charlie W. established himself as a magazine columnist for the terribly trendy Boyz magazine in the new millennium, successfully writing on intimacy & relationships before forging an intimately, damaging relationship with heroin. From once having two Mayfair art galleries he eventually found himself going through bins for bread. It was posh artisanal bread though so maybe he was doing something right. Join him to see why practically nothing worked when it came to quitting drugs and see how close he came to battling the demons - both real and imagined.
