The Man Overboard is the dramatic story of Darryl Hagar, a Merchant Marine Officer who within his life of discipline and order led a secret, clandestine existence of alcoholism, drug abuse, chaos, and crime. In The Man Overboard, Darryl retells his gripping personal account of his struggle to reclaim control of his life and begin the journey toward recovery from a lifestyle no one even knew existed.
A twenty five year veteran of the Merchant Marines, this “Drunken Sailor” was charged with the daunting responsibility of navigating 900 foot supertankers, globetrotting the dangerous and unpredictable oceans of the world.
Follow along and share in the tales of his exploits, adventures, and traumatic life events in this story of inspiration and personal triumph. Share in the personal empowerment of Darryl’s transformation into a life of reformed sobriety and his personal mission to create widespread social awareness to reverse the hidden reality of this widespread epidemic.
Darryl’s story is one of total transformation! His 500 page book goes into very detailed explanations of what he went through from the time he joined the Merchant Marines till the days after he decided to become sober. I have read many books about alcohol and drug addiction but not one of them are so REAL and forthright about their lives during and after the addictions. I truly praise Darryl for being the strong man that he is by sharing all his experiences. As Darryl states on the interview : “While writing the book several times I had to get up from my computer because the turmoil and the shame that I had caused just overwhelmed me.”
Darryl has set up two wonderful bonuses for Heal Yourself Talk Radio listeners and I encourage all of you whether you are the one going through the addictions or know someone who is to go to the bonus page and download the below FREE items that Darryl has so generously give to us:

He,
That’s a great job Darryl is doing. Many people loose their shelter, food and everything just due to addiction of alcoholism.
Thanks

An incisive post you have here. Just want to add that every alcohol addict should have a strong desire to quit. Without this, all effort to stop drinking alcohol willl be futile.
drug addiction is really a very bad problem of the society, it destroys the life of a person..”
