Question by soberchick: Suggestions for fiction/biographies dealing with substance abuse?
Okay, so I read the James Frey thing and was nonplussed, but aside from “I’ll Cry Tomorrow” and “Whiskey’s Children” I’m not too familiar with other accounts, fictional or nonfictional, of addiction and recovery. Any ideas welcome.

Best answer:

Answer by Rob in NY
“Junky” by William Burroughs

“People of the Lie” by M. Scott Peck (more inspirational)

“An Unquiet Mind” by Kay Redfield Jamison – more about bipolar issues and substance abuse.
