Addiction didn’t drown Brent Wright overnight. It discreetly infiltrated his life, initially presenting itself as a good time. It first offered laughter and fun, followed by relief and numbness.

David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view, a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope.

Before meth, Sheff's son, Nic, was a varsity athlete, honor student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candor, Sheff traces the first warning signs, the attempts at rehabilitation, and, at last, the way past addiction. He shows us that, whatever an addict's fate, the rest of the family must care for one another, too, lest they become addicted to addiction.

Why does recovery follow the same agonizing cycle of hope and relapse, regardless of what a person is addicted to? And why does the boundary between "addicts" and "everyone else" feel so uncomfortably thin? Boris Kriger spent three decades in the world of addiction — as a young paramedic in the Soviet Union, a rehabilitation worker in Jerusalem, and a clergyman running a shelter in Canada.

Cocaine coursed through my tiny viens, shaping my first experience of life. While other babies grew in a cocoon of safety, I was introduced to a chaotic battle that defined my earliest moments. When I was born, I wasn't greeted with joy and celebration. My entry into the world was met with panic, medical interventions, and uncertainty. The doctors didn't see a healthy, thriving newborn.
