Outside Reading #7

A Million Little Pieces
by James Frey

I am only 30 pages into the book A Million Little Pieces, but it is already clear that the story that is being told is about undergoing change. Most change is good but hard to go though, and this book is about going though a very difficult process. The main character is James Frey, and James started drinking at the age of ten and has been doing drugs since he was twelve. By fifteen, he was drinking everyday , and at eighteen he was doing drugs everyday. It is obvious that James is an alcoholic and an addict. After all this time he finally checked himself into rehab to start his recovery process. Getting over an addiction is one of the hardest changes someone could go though because of the dependency a person has to a drug. I do not know any addicts closely, so I cannot imaging how hard it is for someone to change their lifestyle like that, and for everyone around them to watch them go though it.
