Host some of the most striking parts are if your book, your talk about behaviors, in hindsight it is easy to see the signs of addiction. In realtime it is not. Tell me about that. What i learned is not only is that true but i came to the idea of addiction with my own implicit biases. I did not think someone struggling with the drug addiction would look like peter, earning the salary he was earning, have two advanced degrees, have a successful partner and at prestigious Silicon Valley law firm. Someone struggling with an addiction was also struggling with conditions like a homeless or Mental Illness that was untreated.

This started even before the book. 2017 i wrote a story that was call beware of the addict so a lot of the research for that piece and exploring it with my family and children to see if it was okay with them and figure out why we were doing it and what it meant to us. To make meaning out of something that was arbitrary and shameful but also to understand what was going on in the legal professio profession. After that came out, it surprisingly had a viral life and i got a lot of feedback from readers especially Young Lawyers who said now im worried i will end up with my exhusband who was facing depression and anxiety. So then at that point i had started to think about a memoir so i feel my process started before and then i think another eight or nine months talk about high Addiction Centers and people that i met on th
