Colvin,
whose brother died from prescription drug abuse, brings what he
calls the hidden epidemic of such abuse into the light. In the
course of writing his book, he talked with persons from many
different occupations and activities, and excerpts from his
interviews occupy a considerable portion of the text. Abusers
discuss their methods and sources and disclose that many of them
felt that because they had prescriptions, they were not really drug
abusers. 
Sharing your life with others, especially people you don't yet know, can be
difficult. Writing a journal also takes some time, energy and real commitment.
Imagine pouring your thoughts and feelings out a few times a week.
