This isnt an easy book to read; though. He really does take us on a tour of what his hell looked and felt like. I felt exhausted by the time I reached the final page! That he had both the discipline and skill to write this memoir speaks eloquently to his character as a man.And; yet; I find myself wanting more because I have so many questions about how he found redemption and stayed the course of recovery. He speaks of the fear and self-hatred that became his enveloping demons and I wanted him to delve beneath skin and bones and explore in more nuance what those fears felt like. All through the journey; he met people who fell in love with him and believed in him and were willing to suffer with and for him. But; I want to know why they were willing to do this - who is this Joe that they loved?In some respects; he does such a fine job of conveying what deformed his soul that I dont always glean how his innate goodness managed to spark even in darkness. I think I wanted the narrative of his journey into self-destruction to be tighter and of his journey into recovery more expansive. I was most moved in those sections where he reflects on what essentially is the sacred dimensions of his journey to becoming the man he was meant to be. I wanted even more of those insights as they give his story its unique resonance.What I want; though; does not take away from what he gave us - a heroic story that sets before us the mystery of the human will and heart.I look forward to his next book - theres got to be a "next" book!6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Joeys JourneyBy Jennifer TibbettsJoeys story; in a word; is heartbreaking. He takes you along his journey from childhood; through adolescent; and into adulthood. As you read; his words make you rise and fall with him. You find yourself rooting for him even when you know the darkness that lies around the next corner. You pray for him to find peace; love; and self acceptance. You wish that you were there for him in the early years; that you knew; that you could have done something to ease the pain. His dance with the devil is so captivating that you find yourself living each moment with him; like a friend instead of a reader. All who read this will not only desperately want to go back in time to support Joey but also pray that this next leg of his journey will find him in love; not necessarily with another; but with himself.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must read...gripping; powerful; exquisitely writtenBy Michael A. McBrideThis book is way broader and deeper than the challenges/relationships of Olympic competing and substance addiction. The graphic details of repetitive and excessive substance abuse was staggering - hopefully it will be to most readers. However; woven and beautifully crafterd throughout the book were concepts that I believe everyone struggles with: 1) need for perfection 2) destructive and counter productive self-hatred 3) obsessing on things you cant change 4) constantly looking behind you instead of moving forward 5) the focus on intention behind your actions as opposed to whether the result was good or bad 6) constantly thinking and rethinking and the negative impact on emotions 7) life is full of pain 8) spiritual health and finally 9) the ability to accept and surrender (not the same as admitting defeat). The book is extremely well-written; raw and powerful - so much so that I couldnt put the book down for the last 150 pages on a cross-country flight. I was visibly sobbing on the plane as I read the book. Regardless of your spiritual; religious or moral beliefs; everyone could benefit from Joes journey - a journey that we all are one and will continue to be
