Long Past Stopping: A Memoir (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

I like that Canfield is straight and to the point. He doesn't include pointless details, but writes with enough description to keep the readers attention. This makes for thoughtful and entertaining writing. This is not a story of how an addict overcomes, rather it's a story of endurance. In it, Canfield writes in a matter-of-fact non-apologetic style without the bells and whistles one might expect from someone in his position. I was really intrigued by this book given that he was the self-help Guru Jack Canfield's son. I've never been able to read a self help book all the way without giving up. Reading this I know I was right! Brilliantly written with underlying humour the story of Oran's incredible journey through childhood and all the crazy shennanigans his mother puts him through to his ordeal at becoming addicted to heroin and the multiple times he tried to kick it. For anyone that has had an addiction this book will make you realise that you aren't alone and it is worth continuing to seek help. Good book, incredible story, really worth reading.
