A memoir of intoxication like no other, On Drugs explores ChrisFleming's experience of drug addiction, which begins while he is a student beforeescalating into a life-threatening compulsion. A philosopher bytraining, Fleming combines meticulous observation of his life with a keen senseof the absurdity of his actions. He describes the intricacies of drug use andacquisition, their impact on the intellect and emotions, and the chaos thatemerges as his tightly managed existence unravels into arrests, hospitalisations and family breakdown. His account is accompaniedby searching reflections on his childhood, during which he developed acute obsessivecompulsive disorder and became fixated on martial arts, music-making andbodybuilding.In confronting the pathos and comedy of drug use, On Drugs alsoopens out into meditations on the self and its deceptions, on popular culture, religionand mental illness, and the tortuous path to recovery.
