A Million Little Pieces

Holy cow this book is so good! A Million Little Pieces is a personal memoir of a serious drug addict, James Frey, who is heading down a path to his death. James has been an alcoholic for ten years and a crack addict for three. Most of his life is a blur. He can't go a day without waking up to some sort of alcohol and blacking out multiple times during the day.
James wakes up on an airplane. Confused and terrified, he realizes he is in awful condition. James had a broken nose, four missing teeth, and a hole in the side of his cheek. This was his wake up call. James was then greeted by his family who took him home for the night, but he couldn't get through without a bottle of wine.
The next day James Frey started his journey to recovery. James was admitted into rehab that would  test his soul and strength in every way. He is under strict orders to begin detox, do simple tasks, regularly meet with a psychologist, and his hardest talk, not talk with women at the facility.
The craziest part of the book so far that I noticed is that James was so disgusted and embarrassed of himself, that he did not look at himself in a mirror for five days. He could only imagine how awful it would be until he finally looked to find this true. It was also really interesting that James had an extremely vivid dream about alcohol and using drugs. In his dreams, he coke feel his nostrils and throat burning and even felt relief from the drugs. In a meeting with his psychologist, he informed that these dreams were very common and could occur often for more than a year.
I am so exited to continue with the book and to hear all of the unimaginable struggles James will have to go through. However these struggles will ultimately save his life.
