Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. 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 a voice 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 for us of a person at odds
with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself.
It's a harrowing portrait -- but not one without hope.
