Kyle Keegan was like many teenagers: eager to fit in at school, he experimented with alcohol and drugs. Soon, his abuse of these substances surpassed experimentation and became a ruthless addiction to heroin that nearly destroyed his life.

Now in recovery, Keegan tells his remarkable story in Chasing the High. Starting with the early days of alcohol and drug use, Keegan charts his decline into crime and homelessness as his need for heroin surpassed all thoughts of family and friends, of right and wrong. He then goes on to use these experiences to offer guidance and practical advice to other young people who may be struggling with substance abuse. In straightforward, easy-to-understand language and along with the psychiatric expertise of Howard Moss, MD, Keegan discusses what is known about the neurobiology of addiction in young people, how to seek treatment, and how to get the most out of professional help. He also covers such topics as therapies which are used to combat addiction, how to talk to families and friends about substance abuse, and how to navigate risky situations. Both an absorbing memoir and a useful resource for young people.

Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, Chasing the High offers hope to young people who are struggling with substance abuse, helping them to overcome its challenges and to go on to lead healthy, productive lives.

Hubby’s Fave!

My husband lives in these comfortable performance quarter zips by Maelreg! He says they’re warm in the cool months, they fit great, can be worn with just about any slacks, joggers, or shorts. They come in many different colors and they fit the tall guys like my husband, whose 6’4” He orders 2XL.

It's different. Not bad, but nothing special.
Color: Navy Melange, Size: XX-Large
The fit is good. I'd say medium weight. It's not quite as light as some of the microfiber pullovers I like to wear playing golf, and not quite as flexible. I'm not sure I like the decorative stitching. The stitching on the shoulders and along the sides makes it look like it's on inside out. Also, the material has kind of a paper feeling to it (for want of a better description). Overall it's decent looking, not a bad fit, not a bad feel, it just doesn't 'wow' me. Unless the price is better than it is now, and already having one, I doubt I'd buy it again. Most of this is just my own opinion based on personal preference. The overall manufacturing quality seems very good. Someone else might think this is the nicest pullover they own.

Excellent quality and value
This is my 4th Maelreg 1/4 zip shirt. I've lost a lot of weight and looking for clothing that fits well and doesn't feel like a shirt from China. I found that the quality and fit are excellent. The fabric is soft, well made and slightly heavier than other 1/4 zips I've purchased on Amazon. The weight of fabric gives a quality feel. The styles of Maelreg pullovers are great. I get a lot of compliments on these shirts.

MAELREG Clothing Looks Great!
Love this quarter zip. MAELREG makes some comfortable, sharp looking clothing. Their golf apparel is fantastic. The value is worth it. Their shirts are true to size. I am 6', 215lbs and wear an XL, which fits nicely.
