There’s not anything stronger than the pull of the drug when you’re an addict. He probably should have waited to write his book (if he lives). Right now he still has a lot of anger toward the drug programs and even his dentist (not sure where that came from). He’s very upset that people treat him like a drug addict, but how else would they treat him? Also, it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not. Drug addicts lie ALL THE TIME and he should expect doctors to question what he says and his motives. My first husband was a heroin addict. I remember when I had my appendix out and he came to visit me in the hospital. He said he would be right back and then disappeared. I asked the nurse if she knew where he was and she said, “He’s down in x-ray so they can see if they can tell why he’s having so much pan.” (Yeah...right.). Luckily the doctor that looked at his x-rays also saw the track marks on his arms and realized he was just trying to get drugs. He ended up overdosing and died from his addiction a few years later.

I finished "War & Peace". Took almost seven months. I'm glad I got through it.
I'm in the midst of "The Lincoln Highway" now and really loving it. Have also started "The Age of Innocence", and have "A Thousand Ships" waiting for me.

I really liked this too. I've enjoyed all of the books by Amor Towles that I've read. I'm reading Living with Mild Brain Injury: The Difficulties of Diagnosis and Recovery from Post-Concussion Syndrome. I am 10 1/2 months post-concussion and still struggling with some symptoms. Erica |
