No personal experience here at all, but to anyone who finds this fascinating/crazy, I absolutely recommend a read of "Sing Backwards & Weep" by Mark Lanegan. It's a personal account of his struggles as an addict while being the lead singer of "Screaming Trees" during the late 80s - 90s "grunge" era. He doesn't hold back at all. Couldn't put it down.

Just finished it. What a great read! So gritty and riveting. The guy had a flare for storytelling.
