Join Ernie Drey On His Journey From Addiction To Recovery In His New E-Book, “Tales Of A Recovered NY Drug Dealer”

NEW YORK, NY – November 6, 2006 — Tales of a Recovered NY Drug Dealer takes you on a white-knuckle ride through the netherworld of crime and addiction. Now clean for thirteen years, Ernie Drey shares his gut-wrenching tale of self-induced hardship and hard-fought redemption.

Tales of a Recovered NY Drug Dealer is the true story of street kid who learned to hustle, cheat and lie to feed his addictions on the mean streets of Manhattan. Follow Ernie as he witnesses gun battles, fights crime (and commits a fair share as well!) and slowly loses everything he loves to drugs. As the story unfolds, Ernie goes from a typical recreational drug user to shooting heroin in the tenements of Harlem to recovery and watching the birth of his god-daughter.

Published as an e-book available on www.lulu.com, Tales of a Recovered Drug Addict is the story of one man’s struggle and triumph to get and stay clean. Throughout it all, the author bares his soul, speaking frankly about his descent into hell and the rocky road back home. “I felt it was important to really tell it like it was. While I wanted to write a book that was a good read, I didn’t want to glamorize or glorify my drug use, and felt it was important to express the agony of withdrawal and recovery, in the hopes that it could help someone else down the road.”

Ernie felt it equally important to note that addiction is no joke, and he hopes that an addict reading his Tales understands that you can’t do it alone, and there are people and organizations out there to help. “There’s no shame in asking for help,” he says. “I had to go through rehab three times before I got it right.”
