Bellevue Treatment Center Broken Open Book Signing and Discussion

Bellevue, WA

Broken Open Text Banner


After his first memoir became a New York Times bestseller, author and recovery advocate William C. Moyers had a strong grip on his recovery from drugs and alcohol—until he didn’t. While he no longer frequented or passed out on the floors of crack houses, his life of sobriety wasn’t perfect. But his recovery was strong. Unfortunately, the opioid epidemic was stronger. 

In Broken Open, his newest release, Moyers takes a courageous look at his experiences through years of struggling and suffering to reclaim his recovery after being prescribed opioids for tooth pain. His lived-experience perspective elevates this book to a lifeline for anyone struggling with substance use.
 

An homage to his own recovery story at Hazelden Betty Ford, Moyers will be signing copies of Broken Open, sharing his unforgettable story and participating in a Q&A hosted by Sober Curator founder Alysse Bryson at our Bellevue treatment center.
