i quit drinking because i got full........

here's a recovering alcoholic that i met at the fuse conference in nyc who went on to become quite an author after his moment of clarity. he signed a couple of books for me, and i've just started reading the one titled "dry" which deals with his recovery...........pretty good so far (80 pgs in). he also wrote the bestseller "running with scissors" that was made into a movie. like a lot of recovering addicts i've met who have went thru a good treatment program, he is excruciatingly honest about himself, but quite funny at the same time. after hearing him speak about his life as an alcoholic, his life as a creative, and his recovery, i realized that i shared a lot of the same highs & lows (no-pun). thought i would share in case you were looking for a good read.
