addiction

James Frey



like most people in this culture i have wrestled with the demon of addiction. i have been addicted to many things. i have just finished the book"a million tiny pieces" and have found some answers as to why i feel the way i do.

this book has attracted attention to the fact that some of the events may have been made up by the author. technically this is a non-fiction book but i treat it a fiction and proceed accordingly. the writing is heartfelt and feels real to me. i gained some calm, insight, and wisdom by reading this book to the end. at times i was in tears. fiction or not-this is a powerful and meaningful book. one of the best i have ever
read.

i feel more at ease and accepting of myself after reading this book. i realize that i am no better and no worse than anyone else. i am more at ease with my opinions and am not so eager to believe in the strength and power of others.

this is a must read for sensitive souls who feel pain from being in the world
