Finding Hope
From Isolation to IntentionBy Justin Mayeur
Length8h 35m
About this audiobook
In November 2023, Justin Mayeur jumped from a wall drunk, shattered his ankle, and crawled two hundred yards through freezing dark while the morning runners passed close enough to touch — and none of them saw him.
That was only the beginning.
Finding Hope is the true account of the year that followed: a man alone in a fourteen-foot RV, holding long conversations with a woman who wasn't there, trying to survive a mind that had turned on him. It's a story about addiction, about an obsession he calls only Hope, and about a mother who drove 2,500 miles to bring her son home. Most of all, it's about the slow, unglamorous work of getting sober — and learning, finally, to become his own light.
No clean endings. No easy lessons. Just the truth, one day at a time.
