Like so many disillusioned millions, including my best friend, a registered male nurse, who needs Xanax to keep him 'right'. (Alas, Xanax is not going to get you anywhere NEAR Xanadu!)

ctgoods2 says,

Love the memoir. The only Xanadu I've ever known was a little diner nestled in the mountains that served the best scones with whipped butter and honey. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. A little taste of paradise ...

I took a 1/2 a Xanax once. It didn't take me to Xanadu but it did get me 1/2 way to LaLa Land :-O)

In the end I felt that my sobriety had been too hard fought for to risk it but it would have been a help at the time.

TheUnknownComic says,

Great memoir. My brother-in-law recommends the Xanax martini.

backstagewriter says,

Fun memoir. Xanadu is also a great musical!
