Description
Punish yourself on purpose. Avoid feeling at all costs. Never forgive yourself.
Raw, visceral, and full of dark humour, The Seven Rules of Highly Destructive People is a true story of excess, ruin, and eventual recovery - and of one woman's journey to make sense of her actions.
Told through seven rules for life only to be followed if you're determined to mess everything up, Abi Feltham shares that story unflinchingly, from losing her father to suicide at the age of three to embarking on a decade-long backpacking bender that saw her graduate from bargain booze in Bangkok to meth in Laos, sex work in Sydney, and crack in Canada.
Abi has teamed up with addiction and mental health specialist Dr Rosa Town, who sets out how each of the rules might show up for you, and what you can do to break them. These are the skills which helped Abi finally recover, get clean, and even cope with a devastating terminal health diagnosis.

About the Author
Abi Feltham is an author and content creator based in London, known for her candid storytelling around addiction, mental health, and recovery. Abi's work is honest, humorous, and deeply relatable; and it has resonated with thousands. Through her videos, and now her writing, she sheds light on the realities of sobriety and the complexities of healing, while challenging societal norms around alcohol and mental health. In May 2024, Abi was diagnosed with an oligodendroglioma, a rare form of brain tumour; an unexpected chapter in her journey that further deepened her commitment to living with authenticity, courage, and purpose. Dr Rosa Town is a clinical researcher working in the NHS and specialising in recovery and mental health. She is also an alcoholic in recovery.
