Description
In this memoir, actress Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock From the Sun) tells the story of her struggles with alcohol and opioid addiction, which culminated in her near-death in a London hospital. Ever since her childhood, Johnston had considered herself a freak, and she began to use drugs socially before her use grew into addiction. Although she touches briefly on her acting career, the center of this memoir is her hospital stay in London, when her intestines ruptured from painkiller abuse and she was subject to terrible shame and pain beyond description. The horror of this time in her life persuades her to work to get her life back.
