Finished Rereading A Million Pieces

This book will be known to future generations as a seminal masterpiece of self effacing recovery and absolution. This book has a great deal to offer to anybody who would like to closely examine their addictive behaviors. It is a clear deterrent for the for those who indulge in their addictions. It is a real life story of despair, self examination and recovery. Mostly a painful journey filled with sprinkles of truth, sadness and a brief glimpse to a fully functional family who produces an addict.

The pain that is caused by James to all those around him is of monumental proportions. James becomes disgusted with his behaviors and allows the recovery center to assist him in his struggle with addictions but not without a fight. He is resistant to therapy, caring people and those who offer I hand. I cannot avoid drawing lines of comparison to a friend of mine. His fury "an inner anger, whose begining cannot be defined" is at times ever present. Little to nothing soothes the burning within.
