Inside My Natural Brain
He asked if I’d ever been evaluated for ADHD. I think I literally laughed at him. It was absurd. I’d been an exceedingly good student.

24 Hours Inside the Life of a Homeless Alcoholic
I spent three years homeless because of my alcohol addiction. Sometimes, when I could afford to, I lived out of motel rooms. The majority of the time I lived out of my car. I learned a lot during that time. I met so many people who were in similar circumstances and heard their stories.
