17 Heart-Wrenching Memoirs About Addiction

Nic Sheff's memoir, Tweak, acts as a companion piece to his father's Beautiful Boy, telling the story of Nic's addiction from his point of view. Both Sheffs attempt to examine how Nic's upbringing and past could have led him to this point, but Nic's book feels more raw, for obvious reasons. With honesty and absolutely no sugarcoating, he details how his addiction escalated from getting drunk at age 11 to drug experimentation and eventually meth and heroin addiction. — NE
