A Million Little Pieces was a best seller. Story is that it became a best seller because Oprah talked it up. Then, someone researched the story and found the author's autobiography was half-truths.
Anyway, i never read that.
The one i liked best was "Drinking: A Love Story". I listened to it on audiobook, read by the author.
I also read this one by ex presidential candidate George McGovern. it's truly sad. His daughter got so drunk that she passed out in the snow and died. But that occured after at least ten+ years of therapy, rehab houses and all kinds of help. The daughter, Terry, once got out of rehab after being there 6 months. She seemed sincere to stop drinking. but within a day or two, she stopped at a bar on the street and got extremely drunk within an hour. She seemed truly helpless to alcohol.
Reading about the tragedy this drug brings is good therapy.
