Remembering to Live
by Khalil Rafati
Overview
In his 30s, Khalil Rafati was living under a bridge. His only goal for each day was to secure enough cocaine and heroin to feed his addiction. Sixteen years later, Rafati had become a successful entrepreneur. The recovering addict had started a fast-growing chain of SunLife Organics juice shops and his own yoga business. Rafati also founded Riviera Recovery, a transitional living facility for recovering addicts and alcoholics.
Remembering to Live is the at-times harrowing tale of how Rafati went from a life of desperation to one of abundance. In the book, Rafati offers advice on how readers can turn their own lives around.
