Gripping Memoir 'One Last Hit' Chronicles Addiction, Redemption, and Purpose

Austin Rampt's Astonishing Journey from Rock Bottom with the Sinaloa Cartel to Sobriety and Hope

NY, UNITED STATES, November 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Austin Rampt, alongside co-authors Randall Surles and Laura Graves, is proud to announce his powerful and authentic memoir, “One Last Hit,” a raw and riveting story of addiction, loss, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. With unflinching honesty, the book takes readers on a harrowing trip through the depths of substance misuse and into the triumph of recovery.

At the heart of this 209-page memoir lies a message of hope - that even the most desperate circumstances can be transformed into a life full of purpose and fulfillment. This gripping narrative follows Austin's path as he battles addiction from the young age of twelve, builds (and destroys) a multimillion-dollar business through relentless drug use, and ultimately flees the country under the weight of a court order. His astonishing detour to Mexico, where he lived with the notorious Sinaloa Cartel, culminates in homelessness in Mexico City. And yet, through unimaginable adversity, he discovers happiness and sobriety in the most unexpected places.

"One Last Hit" is far more than a survival story, serving as a testament to the transformative power of recovery and human connection. Rampt’s authenticity breathes life into the internal struggles of someone seeking acceptance, as well as the external realities of addiction that cost him family, success, and nearly his life. Readers will find themselves captivated by the unimaginable lows and inspired by the ultimate high of redemption.

The author’s background as a successful entrepreneur in the cryptocurrency sector adds a surprising layer of depth to his story, presenting him as a man who rose professionally while battling personal demons. Today, as a devoted husband and father of five, he shares his trials and triumphs to inspire others facing similar battles. In his own words, “I’ve come close to dying on multiple occasions, and if I can get sober and find happiness, there’s hope for anyone.”

With emotional candor and edge-of-your-seat storytelling, this incredible memoir invites readers to not only witness the perilous realities of addiction but to celebrate the unparalleled beauty of second chances.

“One Last Hit” (ISBN: 9781968485009) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The paperback retails for $17.99, and the ebook retails for $2.99. Review copies and interviews with the author are available upon request.

Born in Dallas, Texas, and raised across Tokyo, Japan and Tampa, Florida, Austin confronted profound challenges early in life and an unrelenting desire for acceptance.
