Rod Halsted has lived a life most wouldn't dare to imagine. In his memoir he takes you on a wild ride through addiction, crime, and redemption - all wrapped in the irreverent humour of a true Aussie larrikin. Compelling and unfiltered, Rod lays it all bare. From crashing cars (seventeen to be exact), dealing drugs and doing time, arrest records in four states and sharing a drink with Bob Hawke, trouble was never far from Rod.
Told with trademark Aussie no-nonsense honesty, 'Take My Advice, I'm Not Using It!' is as much a confession as it is a celebration of resilience.
