Quatrième de couverture :
Featuring an exclusive extract from David's son Nic's companion memoir Tweak
David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from his parent's point of view; a real-time chronicle of a son's shocking descent into substance abuse and his gradual emergence into hope.
Before meth, Sheff's son Nic was an accomplished athlete, top student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wreck who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candour, Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the three a.m. phone calls, the attempts at rehab and, finally, the way past addiction.
Crystal meth is acknowledged to be the world's most addictive and dangerous drug, wreaking permanent brain damage faster than any other available narcotic. But Nic's story is not just about meth. His story, and his father's, is that of any family struggling to support an addict.
'Both are riveting, brilliantly written, thoughtful, searingly honest and equally essential. They should be mandatory reading for every teenager and every parent of one' Daily Mail
'Moving, painfully honest, very revealing, it tells a story which just never gets told and which is extraordinarily important' Rosie Boycott
THUMBNAIL of TWEAK
Also available in paperback: Tweak, Nic Sheff's companion memoir

THUMBNAIL of TWEAK
Also available in paperback: Tweak, Nic Sheff's companion memoir
David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view -- a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope.
Before meth, Sheff's son Nic was a varsity athlete, honor student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wreck who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candour, Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs, the denial (by both child and parents), the three a.m. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the attempts at rehab, and, at last, the way past addiction. He shows us that whatever an addict's fate, the rest of the family must care for one another too, lest they become addicted to addiction.
