Well I read the book and saw him on Oprah and I'm still impressed. Sorry if the mainstreamers who wouldn't know shit about being an addict don't approve his literary approach at telling his story. Knowing the little I do about the lifestyle I'm sure if he went into recovery in the shape he indicated, certain details had to be foggy to say the least and big damn deal he spruced the story a bit hoping for an offering that people would read. The story is in his approach and success in beating a serious addiction and if there are those who benefit from his story why do these shitheads feel the need to condemn? Sorry if I seem a little short in my reply but bear in mind my Dad spent 20 years telling his story in AA helping people and this sort of hits home. I admire anyone who can step up and say I used to be a fuckup and now I'm better and I'd like to help those of you I can.
