When I first read my father's memoir, Beautiful Boy, I understood for the first time how much my addiction was killing him. I promised myself I'd never cause anyone that kind of pain again. But, of course, life is never so simple. - Nic Sheff

***
Based on
the best-selling pair of memoirs
from father and son David and Nic Sheff,
Beautiful Boy 
chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years.





 
Worth reading when you are still
a student at school and...
you have supposedly a life ahead!
