Coffin grew up in a small town in Maine, the son of a lobsterman and a nurse. His father was a violent alcoholic, and his mother was often absent, struggling with her own demons. Coffin and his siblings were left to fend for themselves, and they often had to rely on the kindness of neighbors and friends.

As Coffin grew older, he turned to drugs and alcohol to escape the pain of his childhood. He became addicted to heroin, and his life spiraled out of control. He lost his job, his home, and his family. But even at his lowest point, Coffin never gave up hope. He eventually found the strength to get sober, and he has been clean for over a decade.

Roughhouse Friday is a powerful and moving memoir that will stay with you long after you've finished it. Coffin's writing is raw, honest, and unflinching, but it is also filled with hope and redemption. Roughhouse Friday is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with addiction, loss, or the challenges of life.
