Dancing on Glass Ted Newhart

Dancing on Glass is the brutally honest and often painful account of Newhart's life long struggle with isolation, obesity, and sexual perversion. He managed to achieve academic success-while falling inexorably into alcoholism, drug addiction and increasingly difficult bouts with mania and depression. But this is also a story of recovery and hope! With the help of therapists, rehabs, 12 step programs, and supportive friends and lovers, Newhart eventually learned to love himself--he broke the strangleholds of addictions, overeating and mental illness, and has been living an imperfect but stable and fulfilling life for the last two decades.
