After all, he evangelizes for the disease model of addiction and 12-step programs, and swears by traditional recovery programs. On one hand, AA’s “Big Book” thumpers will hate that we have no patience for Perry attending 15 rehab programs for drugs and alcohol- leaving him with a $9 million tab! And wait until they find out that we point to the crucial curative aspects of Perry’s mature and balanced adult life which allowed him to move away from relying on drugs independent of AA.Ĭoming from the other direction the anti-12-step and abstinence crowd will hate that we support so many elements of Perry’s memoir. We risk upsetting AA evangelists and the anti-12-step crowd in one review. We are walking a razor’s edge in reviewing Perry’s memoir.
