Image caption: “Waiting For Nerdrotic,” by Gary Buechler.<\/em><\/p>\n
While the book was released under a special pre-order campaign earlier this year (which sold nearly four thousand copies)<\/a>, it is now available widely.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore I was Nerdrotic, I was just Gary, a guy who slept beneath a bush in front of a Long John Silver\u2019s,\u201d Buechler says. \u201cI\u2019m proof that even when you\u2019re down and out, you can turn your life around if you\u2019re willing to change.\u201d<\/p>\n Packed with Buechler\u2019s trademark edgy humor and featuring illustrated comic pages from a niche fellowship of artists, \u201cWaiting for Nerdrotic\u201d is a tale of triumph against the odds. It tells the tale of Buechler\u2019s non-linear path, which includes getting sober and starting a family with his first true love before opening a successful comic shop in San Francisco\u2014only to then find himself as engulfed in addiction as he had been before rehab.<\/p>\n \u201cI suddenly realized I was doing enough cocaine to make Hunter Biden\u00a0do a double take,\u201d he says. \u201cI thought getting sober once and finding success would be enough, but that\u00a0just wasn\u2019t the case.\u201d<\/p>\n After his dream comic book business folded and his wife kicked him out of the house, he found himself back in rehab, on the brink of losing his family. With so much to lose, recovery stuck\u2014and after pouring his passions into a YouTube channel, he found a version of success that was truly sustainable.<\/p>\n In \u201cWaiting for Nerdrotic,\u201d\u00a0Buechler gives readers an inside look at how he became a pop culture commentator\u2014and how close he came multiple times to losing everything he\u2019d worked for. With humor and vulnerability, he inspires his fans and anyone on life\u2019s fringes to pursue a life truly worth living, dodging pitfalls and personal demons on the way. Perhaps above all, Buechler makes a public commitment to take his own advice\u2014and to ongoing recovery.<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s a myth out there about believing in yourself being the key to success, and it\u2019s b.s.,\u201d he says. \u201cYou can believe in yourself all day long and not get anywhere. It’s about believing in something you love, something that brings you joy.”<\/p>\n Buechler\u2019s recovery memoir, \u201cWaiting for Nerdrotic,\u201d\u00a0is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers.<\/p>\n About Legacy Launch Pad Publishing:<\/strong><\/p>\n Legacy Launch Pad is the leading book publisher for entrepreneurs who want to build authority and leave a legacy.
