This Almost Killed Me
I trusted the system the way most people do. I filled my prescriptions at a national pharmacy.
I followed doctors’ orders. I assumed someone, somewhere, was paying attention.
No one was.
Over time, prescriptions stacked up. Dosages increased. Warning signs were missed or ignored.
What began as treatment slowly became dependence — and then something far more dangerous. In
Almost Gone, Robert B. Routt shares his unfiltered story of survival, faith, and the consequences of unchecked prescriptions.
This harrowing experience nearly cost him his life, leaving him in a 3.5-week coma.
Almost Gone by Robert B. Routt is a must-read memoir of resilience and redemption.
Based on real events. No exaggeration. No excuses.
Why This Story Matters
A True Story
Nothing in Almost Gone is fictional or exaggerated. Every moment, decision, and consequence described in this book happened — and it could happen to anyone.
A Broken System
This story exposes how pill mills, unchecked prescriptions, and missed warning signs within the medical system nearly cost a life — and continue to impact countless others.
A Second Chance
More than a survival story, Almost Gone is about faith, resilience, and finding purpose after devastation — proof that even when everything falls apart, hope can still remain.
The Story Behind Almost Gone
Almost Gone is a true story of survival.
It is the unfiltered account of what happens when addiction, unchecked prescriptions, and a broken medical system collide — and the human cost that follows.
But this is not just a story about nearly dying.
It’s about waking up.
About rebuilding a life when nothing works the way it used to.
And about finding purpose, faith, and meaning after everything falls apart.
This book is for anyone who has faced addiction, serious illness, or loss — and for those who believe that even after devastation, redemption is still possible.
This is not just a story about nearly dying.
It’s about what happens after you survive.
Based on real events. No exaggeration. No excuses.
