About the Book

Celebrity Rehab star Bob Forrest's memoir about his drug-fueled life in the LA indie rock scene of the '80s and '90s and his life-changing decision to become a drug counselor who specializes in reaching the unreachable. On Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, Bob Forrest is a counselor who helps some of the most unruly celebrities heal. He gets through to them because he knows what they're going through--he was once the frontman of Thelonious Monster, a cult-favorite band, and ran with a group of musicians that included the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis and Flea. Though his band's future looked bright, Forrest was in bad shape and let his career slip away as he sunk deep into chemical dependency. He went through many unsuccessful stints in rehab. When his sobriety finally stuck, he saw an opportunity to help others who were in his same predicament. Fed up with the traditional rehab approach, he eventually developed his own outpatient program called Hollywood Recovery Services. He has since helped guide many people back from the brink of death.

About the Author :
BOB FORREST is a musician, certified addiction specialist and counselor, recovering addict who has been sober for 15 years, and the father of two sons.

Review :
"This book will f*** you up, but in the best way possible. "Running with Monsters" is the depraved, hilarious memoir of rock'n'roll and redemption by "Celebrity Rehab" svengali Bob Forrest. Told in collaboration with famed L.A.-underworld raconteur, Michael Albo, a book this twisted and funny hasn't been published since "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." It's that good." --Evan Wright, ""author of" Generation Kill" "There are drunks, there are junkies, there are bad, hope-to-die, never-coming-back-dope fiends--and then there's Bob Forrest....In" Running With Monsters," Bob has produced a book every bit as crazed, savage, riveting, funny and ultimately, up-from-the-gutter enlightened as the man himself. Whether you're a smack-addled fuck-up, recovering user, or straight arrow aficionado of great survival stories--this is the book you have to get. Bob Forrest and writer Michael Albo have created an instant classic." --Jerry Stahl, author of "Permanent Midnight" and "Happy Mutant Baby Pills " "Countless memoirs have been published by rehabilitated celebrity addicts desperate to relate their toxic tales. You can toss most of 'em on the fire after reading "Running with Monsters. "Bob Forrest's back alley punk rock chronicle of self destruction and miraculous recovery raises the bar of transparency and transformation to inspiring new heights. This book will blow minds and save lives." --Lonn Friend, Author of "Life on Planet Rock" and "Sweet Demotion"
