Tweak: Growing up on Crystal Meth
Autor Nic Sheffen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 dec 2018
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOW A MAJOR FILM, STARRING STEVE CARELL AND BAFTA AND GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATED TIMOTHEE CHALAMET
‘It was like being in a car with the gas pedal slammed down to the floor and nothing to do but hold on and pretend to have some semblance of control. But control was something I'd lost a long time ago.’
Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age 11. 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 to convince him otherwise.
In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling true story of his relapse and the road to recovery. He paints an extraordinary picture for us of a person at odds with his past, with his family, with his substances, and with himself.
Tweak is a raw, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful tale of the road from relapse to recovery and complements his father’s parallel memoir, Beautiful Boy.
Praise for Nic Sheff:-

Recenzii
'Extremely well written...detailed and visceral.'
'Both takes on this story are riveting, brilliantly written, thoughtful, searingly honest and equally essential. They should be mandatory reading for every teenager and every parent of one.'
'Raw, powerful, and honest.'
'Full of jaw-tightening and occasionally grisly scenes of shooting up, deals gone bad, guns and sex, Sheff's story takes off like a shot in the arm with a terse, honest, and spontaneous narrative.'
'The trajectory of drug addiction is nothing new, but Sheff's lucid, simple prose makes the heartbreaking journey seem fresh.'
'A raw and sad account, vivid in its depiction of the pleasures and tunnel vision of addiction and the challenges of sobriety.'
'Nic Sheff’s wrenching tale is told with electrifying honesty and insight.'
'Difficult to read and impossible to put down.'
'An unflinching chronicle of life as an addict.'
'The harrowing story of a decade of youthful drug abuse.'
'Riveting.'
'Sheff details his downward spiral, and the reader feels his desperation...'
'Graphic and detailed memoir [that] painfully depicts the author’s addiction to methamphetamines and his tortuous, tentative journey to health.'
'You begin to understand how love can miss its mark and spiral toward tragedy.'
'Searingly honest.'
