This compelling, honest book investigates the growing epidemic of prescription painkiller abuse among today's Generation Rx. Through gripping profiles and heartbreaking confessions, this memoir dares to uncover the reality -- the addiction, the withdrawal, and the recovery -- of this newest generation of pill poppers. Joshua Lyon was no stranger to substance abuse. By the time he was seventeen, he had already found sanctuary in pot, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms -- just to name a few. Ten years later, on assignment for Jane magazine, he found himself with a two-inch-thick bottle of Vicodin in his hands and only one decision to make: dispose of the bottle or give in to his curiosity. He chose the latter. In a matter of weeks he'd found his perfect drug. In the early half of this decade, purchasing painkillers without a doctor was as easy as going online and checking the spam filter in your inbox. The accessibility of these drugs -- paired with a false perception of their safety -- contributed to their epidemic-like spread throughout America's twenty-something youth, a group dubbed Generation Rx. Pill Head is Joshua Lyon's harrowing and bold account of this generation, and it's also a memoir about his own struggle to recover from his addiction to painkillers. The story of so many who have shared this experience--from discovery to addiction to rehabilitation -- Pill Head follows the lives of several young people much like Joshua and dares to blow open the cultural phenomena of America's newest pill-popping generation. Marrying the journalist's eye with the addict's mind, Joshua takes readers through the shocking and often painful profiles of recreational users and suffering addicts as they fight to recover. Pill Head is not only a memoir of descent, but of endurance and of determination. Ultimately, it is a story of encouragement for anyone who is wrestling to overcome addiction, and anyone who is looking for the strength to heal.Binding Type: Hardcover

Bought second one
Color: Navy, Size: Medium
I bought the black T-shirt about a month ago and really liked the quality the fabric is soft, the fit is great, and it holds up well after washing. So I decided to get the same one in dark blue.Very satisfied with the purchase

Fit me even better than I was hoping.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Beau Blue
I was all but convinced upon receipt I would be sending these back but they fit beautifully. The trick is understanding what the directions are trying to tell you.
I’m 6’4 with a 40 inch waist on traditional jeans (regular fit). I selected 2XL because my feeling was I would want and need a waist line that would fit me but not constrict me.
Admittedly my regular fits were getting close to not fitting as good anymore so I felt 2XL would give me that “extra” my regular fits were no longer affording me.
Comfortable at the waist(not too tight) and they fit me nicely all over. Perfect length. Colors look great too. The pictures shown are accurate. I’ll be ordering more. Give these a try! Definitely worth the money.

amazing pair of jeans!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dirty Blue
im 6'2, 280 currently , bought a 38/32 pair of, these jeans and will instantly look forward to buying more, just for comparison , the same day i got these i tried on a pair of levis i had just bought as well, the Levi jeans i got were also 38/32, and they were the 501's which are stretchy, but maaaan, let me tell you, the difference between those and these are night and day, these feel like i can run a mile in them and do whatever activities i choose to, its stretchy in all the right places, the crotch area isnt tight at all, these are incredibly breathable and in comparison to the levi's price , these are cheaper by $15 and they weren't even on sale, unlike the levis which were on sale by 15% and STILL costed $50. Will buy more ASAP. 10/10

stretch jeans
Size: Large, Color: Dirty Blue
These jeans because they are very comfortable. They stretch just the right amount without binding. I am female but wear men's jeans. These jeans ride lower so sometimes slide down. I ended up solving that issue by ordering a second pair in a smaller size. Worked perfectly. They stretch so no problem there, and now they stay up!
