Crack is Whack! Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man by Bill Clegg & Celebrating Nat X’s 5 Year Anniversary!

RMA-Episode 103 Show Notes:

 

RMA-Episode 103: Crack is Wack! This week Mike and Nat travel the rocky road and discuss Bill Clegg’s memoirs, Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man, and Ninety Days. Literary agent Bill Clegg was talented, successful and secretly addicted to crack. His 2010 memoir Portrait of the Artist, describes the highs and (mostly) lows of living with a crack addiction in New York at the turn of the millennia. His follow-up memoir, Ninety Days, details his struggle to string together 90 days of sobriety after leaving rehab and his efforts to try and put together the pieces of his shattered life.

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
