Book excerpt: "This raw and emotional tale is a roller coaster through the depths of addiction, tragedy, hard work, and redemption that truly reflects Joe's spirit and determination to stay clean in a world where he is surrounded by temptation. It is proof that with hard work, anything is possible."—Sanjay Gupta, MD, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent A world-class athlete's tale of two passions: his ardent love for gymnastics and his intoxicating romance with heroin. Gritty and raw, this is a story that goes beyond the typical addiction memoir. A gripping narrative that captures the fragility and tenacity of the human spirit and how Putignano ultimately triumphs in his recovery and redemption. Follow the author as he goes on a journey from the US Olympic Training Center to homeless shelters to shooting heroin on the job to being declared deas. Acrobaddict is a story about the close relationship between athletics and addiction—how the same energy, obsession, and dedication that can create an Olympic athlete can also create a homeless drug addict.
