Inhaltsangabe

James Bailey suffered from a bizarre and debilitating form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was acutely anxious about mind-altering drugs getting into his system and warping his behavior. Paranoid questions would routinely plague him. Were people trying to spike his food? Could he get high just by touching a photograph of a marijuana leaf? The treatment program he went through brought him face to face with his nightmares. He was asked to mingle and shake hands with the local junkies, overcoming his fear that whatever they had taken would be transmitted to him through their skin. Thanks to his indomitable spirit, James is now able to see the absurdity of many of the bizarre situations in which he found himself. His quirky sense of humor combined with his strength of character helped him to recover and go back out to face the world again.
