A cultural phenomenon by age twenty-six, she had fame, money, respecteverything she had always wanted except that one, true thing: happiness.<P>For all of her professional success, Wurtzel felt like a failure. She had lost friends and lovers, every magazine job she'd held, and way too much weight. She couldn't write, and her second book was past due. But when her doctor prescribed Ritalin to help her focus-and boost the effects of her antidepressants -- Wurtzel was spared. The Ritalin worked. And worked. The pills became her <I>sugar...the sweetness in the days that have none.</I> Soon she began grinding up the Ritalin and snorting it. Then came the cocaine, then more Ritalin, then more cocaine. <I>Then I need more. I always need more. For all of my life I have needed more...</I><P><I>More, Now, Again</I> is the brutally honest, often painful account of Wurtzel's descent into drug addiction. It is also a love story: How Wurtzel managed to break free of her relationship with Ritalin and learned to love life, and herself, is at the heart of this ultimately uplifting memoir that no reader will soon forget.<P> 132940 2001 More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction total:783|5:217|4:261|3:186|2:90|1:29| 783 2896 1070 109 1 4 false false Mon Jan 21 10:36:47 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 10:36:47 -0800 2008
