James Frey--I change my mind

I have to take back what I said about James Frey: I saw him on Oprah yesterday and he is a liar, and I do care about that--just as she does. I kept thinking though--of course he lies, he is a drug addict and alcoholic, that is what we do! (When we are in the throes of our addiction). On the other hand, the book should not be advertised as a memoir, and also the editors should have checked the facts ahead of time. I have heard that he isn't part of a 12-step group, and that explains some things to me--he is not "right-sized" and he is not honest with himself. He needs to make amends to everyone who has read his book. I was going to read it and now I am not. He has a new book out, and how do I know if that is a true story? Having said all that I want to say I have not lied here in my blog. I do not lie, period. I am too afraid for one thing--I have never been a good liar. You can spot me a mile away if I even tried. However, I was dishonest in my drinking days in that I hid myself at home nightly and drank. I didn't let people see who I was, and I pretended to be someone else on the outside. My dishonesty had to do with omitting informaiton about myself, denial.
