Hi All,
I just picked up a book over the holidays that I have found very interesting, called A Million Little Pieces, by James Frey. It was in Oprah's Book Club, if that lends any credibility.
It is an absolutely harrowing story of an alcoholic and crack addict going through rehab. I can't put it down. He is far worse off than anyone I have seen describe themselves on this site, but his description of his addictive thought processes, guilt, shame, self-hatred, etc. are very interesting to me, as someone who also struggles with addictive behaviors.
I am not finished yet, but from what I have read so far, I thought many of you would be intrigued by it as well. It is a painful read, but one that any addict will identify with, and be scared by when seeing where it all leads for some people!!
