Anyone who has a family member who suffers fom drug addiction needs to read this book. It is beautifully written by a father who's son is a severe drug addict. He will take you down the road to that addiction and the agony of trying to save him. If there was something else this family could have done to "fix" their son I can't imagine what it would be. I have so much more sympathy for families who I personally know that have suffered the same with their own children. I wish I knew how Nick is doing now ......

Having recently had to cope with a family member suffering with addiction and rehab, this book was greatly supportive and informative; the author makes you feel like he truly does understand what parents go through, and you see what you are living through his eyes. I was very impressed. Thank you.

Excellant book for anyone who has an addict in their life! There were so many incidences that Sheff wrote about that we could relate to.

Even if you don't have an addict child, but one who has made poor drug/alcohol choices, this is a book to read.

It is also a helpful book to give to someone who does not have an addict in their life and does not understand what you may be going through.
