It is about his alcohol and drug-fueled life. At one point he says this:
"In the end,of coure, ir doesn't really matter when I became an alcoholic. One moment I reached down and the sand was there;the next time I tried I couldn't touch the bottom anymore. Once you are in the deep water the current gets stronger faster. It sucks you farther and farther out,out to a place where you can't really see the land and the people walking around on the beach and building sand castles anymore. All you see is other people who have been caught by the tide. Some of the people are even farther out than you are. And you say to yourself 'Well I could swim back any time I like. But maybe I'll give it another hour or so. It's fun out here. The beach looks kind of boring anyway.'
I liked this a lot. It's a very good book
