January 2024, three in the morning. A man in Czechia sits on his couch with a glass in his hand, watching the Buffalo Bills, when a commentator tells the story of safety Jordan Poyer, who said out loud the one word this man had never said about himself.

Half a year later he walks out of rehab. The next summer he walks eight hundred kilometers across Spain in slippers. Then he gets on a blue 2011 Vespa named Adina and rides ten thousand miles, through Russia, Korea, Japan and across America, to shake one man's hand.

This is a book about the people who helped him on the way. It was written one day at a time, the way the road was ridden and the way sobriety is lived. Its last chapter had not happened yet when the first one was published.

Ludva Lou Klatovsky is a Czech writer, a retired cook and a Buffalo Bills fan. Every dollar from this book builds MIIN, an app for men who want to drink less.
