@paulab662 there is hope. I'm an addict myself, about Nic's age, and there is hope for all addicts from pot to heroin and crystal meth. We just need to see that we have people around us who truly care and sometimes it takes a lot of bad to get an addict to realize so many things they are blocking by getting high. I know my mom worries about me so much, and all I can do is try and do the right thing. I hope your child can find a way through the addiction. I'll say a prayer for you. Take care :)

@VictorialInman Send him the book "We All Fall Down by Nic Sheff."

I read Tweak a bit ago. I cried, I laughed, I cringed. I instantly fell in love with Nic. Having things in common with him that I couldn't find in my own friends. My brother is slowly turning into an addict at the age of 20. And he's going into rehab soon. He's turning into what Nic was. And I'm so damn scared.

I just read the book and I loved it. So deep and rugged and true.. My brother was addicted to crack, speed, and I believe.. Some heroin? I don't think it was as intense as Nic's story, but I sort of know how it goes. My brother is now in the Army, doing well, been sober for over 2 years :D Thank you for the book, Nic. Wonderful.

@bella15710 How many minutes ?? :/
I wish I could meet him.. all the things he describes about how he feels are just exactly the way I feel and have felt for my whole life.. It's nice to know that I'm not the only person who's feeling like this..
