it's an inspiring read I think, but this snippet doesn't do it justice.
A very brief excerpt -
Before Trent Reznor could become the confident, content (dare we say happy?) man he is today, he had to hit rock bottom. That moment came about four years ago, while touring behind The Fragile, when he woke up in a London hospital after overdosing on heroin.
"I had to come to terms about becoming an addict, which, for a long time, I lied to myself about the status of until I couldn't lie any more, 'cause I was either going to die or get better," he recalls now, in a rare on-camera interview. "I couldn't go forward. So a few years ago I did what I needed to do to get my life in order."
Reznor, who completed a rehab program after touring behind 1994's The Downward Spiral but relapsed while recording 1999's The Fragile, checked himself into a New Orleans treatment center. When he finished the program, he left no longer knowing who he was or what he wanted to do. He took some time off, started working out, mountain biking. He considered not returning to music.
