Overview
The longer I stay clean, the more the world just opens up with possibilities and hope. But it's so hard to remember that. And I guess that's the problem. So today I wanna remember. Let me tell you what happens: It all falls down. Just like that. Every time. In his bestselling memoir Tweak, Nic Sheff took readers on an emotionally gripping roller-coaster ride through his days as a crystal meth and heroin addict. Now in this powerful follow-up about his continued efforts to stay clean, Nic writes candidly about eye-opening stays at rehab centers, devastating relapses, and hard-won realizations about what it means to be a young person living with addiction.

Reviews
Sheff's journey, like his writing, is raw and compelling, heartbreaking and witty. An honest and gracious reflection about the challenges of recovery. -- Rachel Sontag, author of House Rules: A Memoir Sheff is blessed with off-the-charts readability, and his sex- and profanity-laced first-person narration makes him lovable and hateable in equal measure. -- Booklist (starred review) Nic Sheff captures the insidious, almost vampiric mind-set of an addict who shrinks from any form of light. This book has more in common with Kafka than any recovery memoir I've read. -- Mary Karr, New York Times bestselling author of Lit and The Liars' Club
