A WALK IN HIS SHOES
Dustin’s life was once full of joy, happiness, security, and
success. With a good job, a wife, and a home of his own, he
was destined for a life of fortune and prosperity.
That was before heroin.
This unique and gripping tale is the first of its kind to tell
the story of addiction through the eyes of both father and
son. Together, Dustin and Dallas shine a blinding light on
the dark life of a junky.
As he decides to travel across the western states in search of
a safe haven, Dustin wanders within a few footsteps of his
own demise. Instead of finding freedom, however, his
addiction cascades into corruption, deceit, and evil.
As alcohol and drug abuse continues to ravage every community
in America, this groundbreaking memoir offers
important insight into the inner workings of an active user,
as well as the pain of those loved ones who must helplessly
stand by as Dustin destroys his life and theirs.

BIO
Dustin John was born and raised in Gallup New Mexico. At age 11, he moved to a small town in Southern Utah. Leading a seemingly normal lifestyle after graduating high school, Dustin's life took a turn for the worse. A short time after a divorce lead him to bankruptcy, his life began the slow dive into addiction.
By age 22, he was jobless, homeless, running from the law, and searching for his next shot of heroin. Travelling across the western states in search of a safe haven, Dustin landed himself directly in the midst of a massive underground drug ring.
After a decade of playing on death's doorstep, Dustin made a miraculous escape into sobriety. Dustin and his father, Dallas documented Dustin's drug riddled history in a uniquely written, father/son memoir titled "A Walk in his Shoes".
Dustin's father Dallas, passed away from an aggressive illness just months before the book's final manuscript was published.
Dustin has been sober since February 1, 2012 and continues to help in the fight against addiction. He resides in Southern Utah with his wife and their many reptiles.
