he tried AA, RR, CBT, a million anti anxiety/drug abuse meds, rehab, and more, spending thousands of dollars on himself yet cannot get out of his goddamn victim complex. i like the part where he says we live in a society that assumes everything is fixable, maybe for some it’s not bc they get trapped in their own brain. i really want to see where the spiritual awakening thing goes for him, im curious.

this is the end of the narrative part of the book— i don’t think this story needed to be 230 pages. the only novel part of this story is the fact that he treated his own addiction and the light shouldve been mainly shone on that element (without all of the fluff)

this book is beyond repetitive. it’s purely chronological with the {unnecessary} repetition of his goal. each chapter could be cut down to a third of its size at least, i don’t need to know the exact content of each email that praised him. i don’t know if the guy is a narcissist or autistic or both,

Yet in other ways, craving remains a hotly contested subject in addiction research. Some researchers say that addictive craving is too elusive a concept to have practical value. To which I say: Like pain, it is only elusive if you don't have it. (164)

(163) alcoholism/addiction is symptom driven and symptom dependent not THE disease (distinction between disease and addiction)

Addiction is truly a living nightmare in which you wake up to the horror not from it -pg 153

Pressure from his big award ceremony, his sober EXTREMELY supportive girlfriend, and a little bit of goddamn anxiety (which he survived without his fuck ass valium) “made him” relapse. What a loser. insanely pathetic. he has so many well accomplished and supportive friends (and mother) and yet somehow he’s always the victim of some bull fucking shit

he thinks he is better than everyone else looking down on addiction and he is so humble for not wanting to be separated from others because he’s a physician but in reality he talks like he knows fucking everything— the reason why they are separated is because they have something in common not because they are inherently better than others (HE assumed this)

when i say this book is repetitive, it’s not even because he relapses everytime like in beautiful boy but because he literally repeats the same line over and over, what people say to him “if you stop drinking you will have less anxiety” and how he has imposter syndrome,this book is way too drawn out — it’s like he’s trying to convince himself subconsciously of what he is saying
