About the Book

Fixed: dope sacks, dye packs and the long welcome back Is a darkly comedic memoir that spans my unsupervised youth, drug and alcohol addiction, bank robbery, life in prison and ultimately my release and re-entry into my life's new and sober orbit. With the perspective gained from more than two decades of sobriety, I give an accounting of my debauched life with humor and irreverence. I grew up with alcoholic parents trapped inside their own lonely skins, a painful childhood full of cold shoulders and broken furniture. I burst onto the drug scene at age eleven and thrived before slowly finding out that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. With addiction taking over and dictating my every move, I tried to make sense of it all while gathering five unwanted felonies along the way. At thirty-three, after a long string of bank robberies and my bad guy impersonation had run its course, I was brought back to life with the gift of prison and given the opportunity to experience a new childhood that I could have only imagined while growing up in Manville. Upon release, I learned that the universe is a kind and forgiving place, often strange and funny with plenty for everyone as long as I don't forget where I came from.

About the Author :
If Doug Piotter was a house, his Higher Power started the restoration project by taking him down to the studs. After two decades of reckless behavior, gripping drug addiction and petty crime evolving into bank robbery, Piotter's life became its own Ground Zero. The long hustle and life among the seedy addicts in Seattle ended the day he started an 115-month prison sentence. But, the day of his arrest back in 1993 was also the last time he ever used drugs and the last time he ever committed a crime. In the "long welcome back," as he writes in his book Fixed: Dope sacks, dye packs and the long welcome back," Piotter built a successful construction company, sustained a happy marriage to artist Terrell Lozada, became an active member of his recovery community and uncovered a hidden talent as a comedic author. Doug is still alive in Seattle and aspires to go to Canada one day. He spends his time between running his construction business and being the world's best husband to his wife, artist Terrell Lozada (whose artwork is on the top of this page). Being an avid talker, he shares his experiences with anyone who will listen, especially his dog Zinc.
