The Harder They Fall: Celebrities Tell Their Real-Life Stories of Addiction and Recovery

The Harder They Fall: Celebrities Tell Their Real-Life Stories of Addiction and Recovery

Updated with Photos and New Interviews

CENTER CITY, Minn., July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- We're all fascinated with the notion of "celebrity." The idea of fame and all its trappings can be very seductive -- the money, the glory, the glitz and the glamour are very exciting. But there's a downside to fame that doesn't get covered on tabloid television or in the pages of fan magazines. The complete loss of anonymity and the seemingly constant media scrutiny can be overwhelming. In order to cope, some celebrities have turned to alcohol and drugs for help, only to find that what they thought would make their time in the spotlight easier is actually killing their career, and many times, their lives as well.

The Harder They Fall (Hazelden; August 2007; $13.95), tells the captivating stories of celebrities rise to fame, descent into addiction, salvation in recovery, and their new, extraordinarily successful lives in sobriety. Now in paperback with updated photos and additional interviews, The Harder They Fall reveals the intimate thoughts, feelings, regrets, and beliefs of celebrities in recovery. Among those profiled are comedians Richard Pryor and Richard Lewis, musicians Grace Slick and Alice Cooper, media pundit Glenn Beck, and many more.
