Excerpt from Beautiful Boy
Last week I read Beautiful Boy by David Sheff. This is a tough book, a memoire of his son’s addiction too meth. If you have a family member with an addiction, you’ll find a friend in Sheff. He puts it all out there, the guilt, the worry and anxiety, imagining what might have happened to him every time he disappeared. He goes through the stages of not knowing, telling himself it wasn’t so bad, and then Nic’s rapid downward spiral and cycles of recovery and relapse.
