Julia Fox memoir review - The Washington Post Julia Fox memoir review - The Washington Post

The difference for Fox, these days, is that where in previous phases of her life, when bad things happened, she would spiral towards drugs and drink, now she tries very hard to stay sane for her two-year-old. She is not entirely sober. “I don’t go to AA meetings. I love AA, and I’ve gotten a lot of tools from it, but now I really just abstain. I’ll have a glass of wine if I’m going out but it’s very rare. I stopped smoking weed, because I was such a pot head. I stay away from the things I know will derail my life and I have no control over.” The pandemic happening so soon after her debut movie came out put a big dent in her progression in the film industry, but she has some roles in the works. She is promoting the book. And, in the meantime, she lives with Valentino, who, she prides herself, engages in none of the “twitchy things” she had going on as a child. She has a stable co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, Peter. And her son, she says, “is so happy, kind, generous, loves to dance”. For all her difficulties, Fox has never had trouble giving herself praise when it’s due. “I’m like, oh, mission accomplished.”i just feel this memoir is entirely premature. fox is still so young and both her sobriety and career in the mainstream are very recent. some more time could have offered some deeply needed introspection.

In Down the Drain, she describes her parents as almost operatically neglectful — there are refusals to intervene after overdoses, affairs with best friends’ parents, and it sometimes takes weeks for them to notice their daughter is missing. She writes that she has overdosed more than once: as a teenager on PCP, coming to in an ambulance “with vomit all around,” and years later on a New Orleans trip involving trap houses, guns, and heroin. Best friends are ripped away via rehab or death, and Fox has a miscarriage in a bathroom bar without ever having known that she was pregnant.

I’m not scared of death at all now, but Ido value life alot more. I’ve overdosed more times than Ican count, and I’ve lost the two closest people to me in my life to overdoses. So Iknow that if I’m here, it’s for areason, and all Ihave is the truth. Ineed to be here to continue to talk about what Iwent through, and what I’m still going through, what Ihope the world can look like, and that we can stop shaming addicts and really implement some safety structures for them to operate and not feel ostracised from their communities.

The good-survivor archetype has forgotten much of what she knows and feels in exchange for credibility, and yet she isn’t taken entirely seriously, either, except by other strong women. When I think of this brand of survivor, parroting the party line to the last, I always imagine a conference room filled with other survivors applauding, which is meant to be its own reward. But beyond the conference room’s doors, this kind of survivorhood is viewed as a special-interest group at best — a knitting club for the formerly unwell.
