When "dazed and confused" stops being fun
This book provides an insider's look of how it feels to be continually high, strung out, or drunk, or thinking about same. The description of AA culture and meetings is alone worth the purchase price. Anyone involved with addiction recovery would find this book interesting.

Boring!
I bought this book because of the interesting title, but that's about the only part that's really interesting. The book put me to sleep after 5 pages. I would recommend a help book for writers, but you may want to stray away from this one.
