From River Bottoms to Rock Bottom and Back: A Veteran's Memoir of Addiction, Accountability, and Redemption - Hardcover

by Don Lineberry (Author)

Do you feel like you've let down everyone who matters most? Like you're too far gone to ever find your way back?

U.S. Army veteran Don Lineberry has lived that darkness. From the quiet river bottoms of Idaho to commanding an M60A1 tank in Cold War Germany, through decades of addiction, a DEA raid that shattered his farm dream, and 197 days in Twin Falls County Jail - he hit rock bottom with nothing left.

Today, Don serves as a Senior Case Manager in the Veterans Ministry Program at Boise Rescue Mission and Director of the American Legion Riders. For every copy of this book sold, $1 goes directly to support the Boise Rescue Mission's Veterans Ministry Program and their ongoing work with veterans across the country.

In this raw, unflinching memoir, Don shares the real path that brought him back - not with easy answers or false hope, but with hard-won honesty, accountability, faith, and the daily choice to keep showing up for others still fighting their way out of the shadows.

In this book, you'll discover:

• How small cracks in life can turn into life-altering collapse - and how to stop the cycle before it's too late
• The turning point that can pull anyone out of rock bottom when they finally stop running
• Why service to others often becomes the key to lasting recovery and purpose
• How to rebuild trust with the people you love most, one honest day at a time
• Practical resources and real support systems that actually work for veterans and those in recovery

From River Bottoms to Rock Bottom and Back proves that collapse isn't the end of the story. If you're a veteran, a family member, or anyone who feels too far gone, this book is living proof that you are not alone - and that the road back is real.

"His story is not unique, but too few people find the road to recovery and the abundant life that can follow... I pray that Don's story will inspire those addicted to take the walk of faith to sobriety." - Rev. Bill Roscoe, President & CEO, Boise Rescue Mission
