He attempted suicide in 2005, but kicked his addiction to drugs, stabilized his life

Does depression lead to addiction? What happens
when addiction becomes the remedy for depression?
Ron Alexander has written a masterfully scripted
memoir, Don’t Tell Me What to Do: A Spiritual
Memoir, for those who are lost or depressed, which
was the recipe that lead to Michael Jackson’s death.
What Alexander shares with Jackson is a parent,
too, emotionally abused him.
Alexander’s memoir chronicles his life from 1954 to
2005 where he experienced social change that
shaped our country’s ideals. From the stirrings of
Martin Luther King’s promise and tragic death; and
Malcolm X’s rise to power, he recounts those
benchmarks in history and interweaves them
brilliantly with how they affected his life
