Review: Self abuse with alcohol and drugs
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 05 15, 2014
Written in the first person, this tale by a 33 year old male of alcohol abuse from his early teens, followed by abuse of over the counter cough and other alcohol and drug related medication, then finally opiates – or uppers and downers – reads like a diary. There is no self pity contained in this account. The story begins with the author running a bar, and able to cycle to and from work, so one assumes that he finally manages to overcome his addictions. I am certain that those involved in rehabilitation of alcoholics and drug addicts all know that it is an all or nothing way of life. I was unable to read more than 56% .
