The Other Great Depression

How I'm Overcoming, on a Daily Basis, at Least a Million Addictions and Disfunctions and Finding a Spiritual (Sometimes) Life

Famously neurotic comedian Richard Lewis finds himself on a gurney in the ER at the age of 44, hallucinating from excess cocaine use and his body poisoned by acute alcoholism. The same dysfunctions that had been the basis for his successful stage persona and inspired his best material had, it seemed, turned on him. In this very funny, deeply honest, and inspiring book, Lewis explores how he got there, how he finally got on the road to recovery, and how he copes with being Richard Lewis sober on a daily basis.©2008 Richard Lewis (P)2008 Phoenix Books, Inc.

One Long Run-On Sentence

I thought this might be a story about addiction and redemption. I also thought, given the fact that he's a comedian, it might have some elements of humor. Wrong an all accounts. To be fair, I couldn't finish it. I think I made it about 1/4 of the way through it.
Not good at all.
