I tried therapy, I tried locking myself in a room, I tried Geographics, I tried going to graduate school, I tried changing girlfriends and nothing worked until February 17th, when I had what what I call sort of a moment of clarity or spiritual epiphany, or what Carl Jung called a psychic change moment, or what Bill Wilson called a change of heart.
What happens when a Hollywood star faces the harsh realities of addiction?
