pickBook #86
4/5
This memoir offers an in-depth account of a father's experience with his son's addiction. Sheff did a fantastic job of combining and balancing personal experience with statistical and objective research about drugs, parenting, interventions, and recovery, to name a few.
"Blood's thicker than water, and I am drowning in it. I was sinking down in that blood and once I hit bottom, no one would find me."
My cousin recommended this book to me after we watched “Beautiful Boy” on Prime.

June 28 #VolunesandVocals Addiction KClarkson love her but never heard this song before. I loved this series, it's a hard look at Addiction from the daughters perspective @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis book shows a fascinating perspective of addiction through a fathers eyes. It‘s a really good read for anyone looking to get a better perspective of addiction and how it affects the people living around loved one who struggle with it.
pickA tough read. As a parent, it has an extra, particularly terrifying aspect - this awful thing happening to a 'good' boy from a privileged background suggests no child is safe - MY child isn't safe! - from this nefarious plague. I mean, there's so much you can do to prevent it from happening, but still, you can't prevent it from happening! The father's helplessness, despair & desperation are heartbreaking, his unending hope, an inspiration.
