Scars for Future Wars - by Jordan Jongema (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Forget the smiling group photos, fake serenity coins, and softly-lit "healing journeys." This memoir spits on the sanitized, one-size-fits-all recovery model and digs into the brutal truth: some of us don't come back in one piece. We come back scarred, skeptical, and clawing our way out of hell with nothing but philosophy, breathwork, and pure f**king willpower.

Scars for Future Wars is Jordan Jongema's unflinching descent into the underworld of alcohol addiction - a place where Delirium Tremens turns reality into a battleground of the unimaginable, and the body becomes a ticking bomb rigged with withdrawal, panic, and regret. Told in fractured timelines and visceral prose, Jongema recounts hospital visits, blackout riots, spiritual death, and moments of twisted beauty - all without pretending he's got it figured out. If you're looking for tidy closure, look elsewhere. But if you've ever stared into the abyss and heard it whisper your name, this book might just be for you.

For the ones who never fit in at recovery meetings. For the ones who want real. For the ones who still wake up haunted.
