Title: Frey just doesn't get it
Product review: James Frey may still be dry/sober, but he comes off as a miserable, depressed person by doing it HIS way. He rejects the concept of a Higher Power, yet has made himself the god of his own world. He illustrates the description of an alcoholic/addict as an egomaniac with an inferiority complex. I very much question most of the details of rehab as he describes them, and I speak from experience and many years of sobriety. Drinking: A Love Story is by far the best description of the mental process in addiction I have read so far,(and Dr. Henry Tiebout's pamphlet, Compliance vs. Surrender perfectly describes removal of the compulsion to drink or use) but if this book helps some people, great. I just hope readers don't unconditionally accept as truth everything in the book. It just doesn't ring true.
