Cameron Douglas's memoir was discussed at length, detailing his struggles with drug addiction, his time in prison, and the challenges of reintegration into society following his release. It also explores his relationship with his family and the circumstances surrounding his arrests and sentencing.
It got to the point where I was a heroin addict.
It got about as bad as it could get. I honestly thought that I was not put together correctly and I lost hope for myself. I thought something was intrinsically wrong with me.
I sort of was living my life like, unfortunately I'm broken and I'm going to live my life and come what may. But somewhere along the way that changed. And if it can change for me, it can change for anyone.
I can't go back in time and change what's happened. The choices and decisions I've made are what they are. But what I can do is try to take all that and turn it into something useful for people and families that are struggling with addiction, that feel like they've lost hope.
I feel that my family is included where their lives affect mine. Really, the purpose was not to write a book about my family. It was to write a book about, you know, my journey and what I've taken from it. And hopefully by laying it out in the way that I have, honestly, I feel like that's the best way to connect with people that are also going through some difficult times.
