Completely Sucked In
I purchased A Million Little Pieces by James Frey on Tuesday night. I read sixty pages that night before I made myself turn out the light after midnight. I read another seventy-five pages yesterday. I'm engrossed. I'm not one to carry around a book to read whenever I can, but I'm carrying this one around quite a bit. I've wept several times while reading it; I can so easily relate to him and his story. His story, thus far, is so very different from my own, but I can still relate so painfully. His is where I could go...
There seems to be a bit of a stir about this book within parts of the recovery community, particularly in AA. Mr. Frey denounces AA and is downright cutting with some of his opinions and remarks about 12-step recovery. I'm OK with that. I am reading what he has to share and am getting a lot from it. Disparate opinions do not scare me; they make me think. From the thinking, I can change my mind in any direction. I can be enlightened in some way that may help me more. I can gain more conviction that what I'm doing is what's right for me. I can grow in any number of ways.
