Get Up: A 12-Step Guide to Recovery for Misfits, Freaks, and Weirdos
Author: Bucky Sinister
A (Former) Skeptic’s Guide to the 12 Steps
Recovery doesn’t always come wrapped in soft words and solemn promises. Sometimes, it needs to be blunt, raw, and even a little funny. That’s exactly what Bucky Sinister delivers in Get Up. As a poet, comedian, and once-skeptical atheist, Sinister never thought the 12-Step Program could work for him. But it did—and this book tells you why, with all the honesty and irreverence you’d expect from someone who’s been there.
Not Your Typical Self-Help Book
With biting humor, sharp insights, and stories from so-called “scumbags” who found wisdom in unlikely places, Sinister strips away the clichés and talks directly to those who feel like they don’t fit into traditional recovery. He’s unapologetically real about his struggles and how he found sobriety, making this book perfect for readers who are turned off by overly preachy, flowery, or religious recovery texts.
