America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life

Author: Benoit Denizet-Lewis

From the publisher:

America Anonymous shares the stories of eight men and women from around the country struggling with addictions. Author Benoit Denizet-Lewis immersed himself in their lives for three years as they battled drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, and compulsive gambling and sexuality.

Alternating with their stories is Denizet-Lewis's candid account of his own recovery from sexual addiction and his compelling examination of our culture of addiction, where we obsessively search for new and innovative ways to escape the reality of the present moment and make ourselves feel "better."
