Publisher's Synopsis
I drive for Uber and Lyft and I'm an alcoholic. In 2018 and 2019 I've given over 4000 rides and driven over 65,000 miles. On average I drive rideshare six days a week and I drink alcohol nearly every day. I drink before, during and after giving rides. I've never had a DUI and I've never been arrested. I've never been to Alcoholics Anonymous, a treatment center, rehab or meetings of any kind. Meetings are for quitters and I'm not a quitter. I'm a daily drinker and I love drinking. The first and foremost reason for me writing this book is because I want to bring awareness that there are people with drug, alcohol and mental illness problems "flying under the radar" and driving for rideshare companies. Alcohol dependency has been around for centuries and has affected many more people than the opioid epidemic ever will. According to a recent study, one in eight American adults, or 12.7% of the U.S. population is an alcoholic, while one in twenty American adults or 5% of the U.S. population is addicted to opioids.
