Description

During my active addiction, I thought I was going to die and I accepted that. It sounds morbid, but it was where I was in life. I was in love with heroin and the dysfunctional relationship I had with it. Being present in my everyday life was very difficult. Using drugs for the first time at the age of 12, I was just trying to fit in and have fun. Then there was heroin. The crimes I would commit and the hurt I would cause the people I loved never crossed my mind in pursuit of that drug. It didn't matter. I was in love the first time it was in my body. But when I finally stayed in recovery, magic truly happened. The path and journey of my life were changed completely. I am a woman in long-term recovery from drug addiction. What that means for me is that I have been drug and alcohol-free since May 27, 2007. Learning about my soul and truly who I am has been difficult, scary, beautiful, and amazing. Being able to wake up every day and walk in my purpose is priceless. I want the same for you.

Reviews

"A gripping, frank, and very real tale of a woman's journey from addiction to recovery. Honesty's story is living proof that recovery restores what addiction robs-not just from the individual but from the families and community members around those in or seeking recovery. Like millions of others on this journey, Honesty's very personal story demonstrates that commitment to helping others has been an essential part of her success. A fabulous, quick read that inspires others by providing hope that recovery is not just possible but a reality in communities everywhere."

Carol McDaid, Cofounder, Capitol Decisions Inc., and the McShin Foundation


"A remarkable true story of triumph over life's cruelty of a person's journey through adolescence to adulthood, a simple guide to recovery from addiction, a clear understanding of hope, a must-read "

John Shinholser, Co-Founder and President of The McShin Foundation


"An honest, insightful, and beautifully written account that will leave you inspired by the transformation of recovery. Honesty Liller's debut memoir is a healing journey for readers that is as cathartic as it is hopeful. A solid contribution to the understanding of one individual journey through addiction and her passion for recovery."


Ryan Hampton, national addiction recovery advocate and bestselling author of Unsettled and American Fix


"Honesty shows the world that there is a way to heal from trauma. You can feel her truth, pain, love, and humor. Our world needs more female leaders like Honesty......bold, beautiful, and badass."


Anna David, NYT bestselling author of 8 books, publisher, TEDxer, TV speaker, podcaster

"In her book, Honesty shares a simultaneously heartwarming and heart wrenching story of her path to recovery. What she reveals is both refreshing and terrifying, and she has without a doubt lived up to her name. We have all been touched by addiction - and no matter how we've been touched, we can recognize our shared humanity in Honesty's words. Her lived experience proves over and over that the way out of hell is through. It is a universal testament that those who find the courage to be honest and vulnerable can absolutely rediscover themselves and come into wholeness."


Sara Daves, Intuitive Purpose Coach

"Scattered Pink is a moving account of the author's life in addiction and her incredible accomplishments as a CEO and entrepreneur in recovery and will be an inspiration for women, especially women with children, in and seeking recovery everywhere. Like Liller, they can choose to grow, forgive themselves, learn, love, and 'live the best damn life they can while they're on Earth.'"
