BRENT WRIGHT

Addiction didn’t drown Brent Wright overnight. It discreetly infiltrated his life, initially presenting itself as a good time. It first offered laughter and fun, followed by relief and numbness. Addiction didn’t take everything at once; it gradually consumed him—dreams, values, relationships—until he found himself isolated and alone. Addiction thrived on loneliness, stole joy, crushed ambitions, and devastated everything in its wake. It broke what it promised to fix.
In Consumed: Addiction’s Appetite, Brent Wright takes readers on a somber journey through his life as a drug addict and alcoholic. He revisits some of his darkest secrets and exposes his vulnerabilities in hopes of educating people from all walks of life about the power of addiction. Consumed is not a feel-good book; it is a raw, piercing memoir aimed at authentically warning others. Whether you can personally relate to the harsh, unyielding grip of addiction, are beginning to experiment with this dangerous disease, or are simply trying to understand a loved one caught in the dreadful cycle, this book will leave you more informed and, ultimately, hopeful.
