I'm all about Addiction Memoirs
Straight Pepper Diet: A Memoir
by Joseph W. Naus
What I find interesting about addiction memoirs is that men who are addicted (granted, I usually read female authors but the few male authors exhibited this), seem to carry megalomanic or narcissistic personalities (often coupled with horrible treatment of women or sexual addictions) whereas the women who struggle with addiction seem to internalize their issues and are more self-destructive rather than wreaking havoc on the lives of others. Both sexes are in pain, but how they convey or process/deal with that pain seems very different.
