Dr. Drew Pinsky is best known as the cohost of the
long-running radio advice program Loveline. But his workday
is spent at a major Southern California clinic, treating the
severest cases of drug dependency and psychiatric breakdown.
In this riveting book, Pinsky reveals the intimate and often
shocking stories of his patients as they struggle with
emotional trauma, sexual abuse, and a host of chemical
nemeses: alcohol, marijuana, Ecstasy, heroin, speed,
cocaine, and prescription drugs. At the center of these
stories is Pinsky himself, who immerses himself
passionately, almost obsessively, in his work. From the
sexually compulsive model to the BMW-driving soccer mom,
Cracked exposes, in fast-moving, powerful vignettes, the
true scope and severity of addiction, a nationwide epidemic.
