About

My guest is Henry Peterson. (pt.2 of 2)- About Henry: Henry is a lifelong jazz pianist and an amateur author. He wrote a music blog for a while about his experiences being a working musician in and around Syracuse New York's music scene. While talking with his friend one day about his experiences with his girlfriend Naomi, who was struggling with drug addiction, and telling the resulting seedy environments and outrageous incidents that go with that, his friend suggested he was writing the wrong book. That suggestion was the trigger that motivated Henry to start writing about it.His writing offers a unique perspective from the viewpoint of an enabler to a drug addict, as opposed to the drug addict themselves. It chronicles his journey with his girlfriend from first meeting, to acquiring feelings, to the realization that she was a drug addict, and the personal turmoil one struggles with when walking the thin line between helping and enabling. He found writing about his experiences and expressing his feelings on paper was not only therapeutic, but also helped him put the situation in the proper perspective.
