“This book saved my life!
This book, changed my life. My sister Sara has met him and after hearing how down to earth he is in real life just swayed me to buy another copy of his book. If you or somebody you love is suffering from addiction have them read this.Ive been clean from heroin for 15 months after I read this. Thank You Mr. Zalkins!!”
“Could not put book down!
I read this book hoping to gain insight and hope while my family battled through my brothers addiction. I appreciated the book being somewhat “informal” and feel that it could really relate to people who are in this guys shoes. Though I am not an addict myself, I could still relate and find a lot of truth and feeling in what was written. I read the book within 3 days. My addict brother has read it 3 times, and though he still is not sober, I find peace knowing that when he does read the book he at least thinks about sobriety. I know this book will help many people and it was a really great read.”

“Dying for Triplicate is raw look into the demon of addiction.
Dying for Triplicate is raw look into the demon of addiction. Todd’s story offers up a daily (and nightly) dose of true chaos between society’s norm and the addicts norm. Prescribe this book to anyone dealing, battling, or enabling addictions.”

“We are currently facing a major drug epidemic within our nation, with our collegiate students at the forefront of the conversation. Statistics are proving that what was once an issue in older populations is drastically shifting towards a younger audience. Todd Zalkins’ documentary, “The Long Way Back: The Story of Todd “Z-Man” Zalkins,” allows a new, unedited insight into this phenomenon through his portrayal of the journey to recovery. East Carolina University’s Collegiate Recovery Community was blessed with the opportunity to bring Todd to our campus in order to give students a new perspective of the issues we face. We were able to hostRead More »

“I love my life today, but it wasn’t that way for a very long time. In order to be built back up I had to be completely torn down” (Todd Zalkins). This quote by Todd speaks directly to my own experiences and to the struggles of my friends as well. Throughout his entire visit at East Carolina, this same message replayed constantly in my head. We always hear that we should “Just Say No!” to drugs and alcohol, but, it isn’t that simple. Todd was able to show me what it was like to go through addiction and eventually recover. His movie, speech, and podcast all felt as if he was talking directly towards me. His message inspireRead More »

“Having Todd at East Carolina University (Greenville, NC) was such an amazing opportunity. ECU’s Collegiate Recovery Community is in its 3rd year and we hosted our second “Recovery Week”. Our students wanted a keynote speaker who could engage college students with a relevant story and Todd definitely delivered! We had the added bonus of having him also bring his documentary The Long Way Back: The Story of Todd ‘Z-Man’ Zalkins! In my brief time in the field, I’ve seen a lot of documentaries on addiction and recovery, this film approaches the subject in such a way that is both educational on the process of addiction,Read More »

“Our family was at wits end before we met Todd Zalkins. My 24 year old son was struggling with drug addiction- and we knew nothing about intervention. Todd was not only kind & compassionate, he prepared all of us for what was one of the most frightening days of our lives, the intervention itself. We are on the east coast and Todd flew out within a few days to handle what we thought was really our last shot to help my son. Todd handled it all with grace & dignity…the intervention was a success and arrangements were made to transport “Kevin” to Southern California for treatment. It’s the best thing we ever did…thank you for helping save our son’s life Todd, and giving him a shot at a new life.”
