The First 40

Brodee Reed did the same thing every morning: After twenty minutes on the elliptical and drenched like a duck in a rain storm he would shower shave and start making his rounds at the local bars where everyone knew my name. He finally had to ask myself: Had he become an alcoholic? Had he lost all control of being a responsible father husband and adult? How much longer could his family conscience and physical health survive his daily routine of drinking? In this memoir he reveals what finally led him to enter a rehabilitation program the steps of the detox process and what he learned in classes about addiction family meditation and ways to live a sober life. The First Forty is not all about drinking drugs rehab and bad stuff that the author did-it's also about his life as a father soldier husband and life in the seventies eighties and nineties. It's about great times bad times traveling the world coaching and being a man that pushes forward.
