Charlie Sheen rose fast in Hollywood, starring in hit films and becoming TV’s highest-paid actor in 2010: reportedly making $1.8 million per episode of Two And A Half Men. But fame fueled a collapse captured by the tabloids: cocaine, arrests, explosive relationships, and headline-grabbing meltdowns that pushed him to the brink as he struggled with a growing addiction. After a stroke*, overdose, and HIV diagnosis forced a reckoning, today Charlie says he is now eight years sober and rebuilding his life. In his new memoir The Book Of Sheen, Charlie looks back on the costs of fame, addiction, and his inspiring journey back to reality.
