Synopsis
When he was 11 years old, Nic Sheff and a friend stole a bottle of their parents' alcohol. The friend had one taste and stopped; Sheff drank until he was puking. From then on, Sheff was a committed drug and alcohol abuser, but the day he discovered crystal methamphetamines, he felt like he had found what he had "always been looking for." For years the drug took over his life: he dropped out of college twice, stole from his parents, and disappeared into the streets of San Francisco. His bracing and compelling personal memoir tells of his battles with addiction, and artfully combines contemplation with a fast-paced narrative.
