Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age 11. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot, do cocaine and ecstasy, and develop addictions to crystal meth and heroin. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to. It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise.

In writing that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking, and true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. As we watch Nic plunge the mental and physical depths of drug addiction, he paints a picture of a person at odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself.

You can also hear Nic's father's perspective in his memoir: Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey through His Son's Meth Addiction.©2007 Nic Sheff (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Substance abuse Biographies Heartfelt Health, Lifestyle & Relationships Inspiring Literature & Fiction Addiction Memoirs

This has been a really great book to listen to while working during quarantine. It’s not an action movie per se, with loads of drama. It just feels more real, and the narrator voice is great and relaxing to. This was also good to listen to during workouts to keep my heart rate stabile.

Great to listen to
