Glad he is in recovery, but this is a pathetic attempt for sympathy and making a buck.

Good grief, that's your takeaway?

Agreed. Let’s just hope he can stay clean and sober so that he can enjoy the world God has given us. And having a fairly large pile of money doesn’t hurt at all.

Good grief, that's your takeaway?

Yes, that's my takeaway. Perry had the world and he squandered it away, now he is actively looking for sympathy and trying to make buck with a book.

It's mine. As a recovering alcoholic the AA program stress's personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and film. It reminds one to place principles over personalities.
