A Muslim punk house in Buffalo, New York, inhabited by burqa-wearing riot girls, mohawked Sufis, straight-edge Sunnis, Shi'a skinheads, Indonesian skaters, Sudanese rude boys, gay Muslims, drunk Muslims, and feminists. Their living room hosts parties and prayers, with a hole smashed in the wall to indicate the direction of Mecca. Their life together mixes sex, dope, and religion in roughly equal amounts, expressed in devotion to an Islamo-punk subculture, "taqwacore".

It all began with a single question: “When you stopped using drugs, how did you get rid of the craving?” Though I have been asked many questions over the years about how I got off drugs, this was a new one. The following day, I was being interviewed by Joshua Muhammad on the People’s Podcast. During the interview, I shared some aspects in my journey to overcome addiction. Then, he asked the question that sealed the deal. He wanted to know if I would be willing to speak with people who had questions regarding addiction. In that moment, I knew it was time for this book.
