David and Nic Sheff On Prevention: You Need to Treat the Cause of Addiction, Not the Symptoms

Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at age eleven. In the years that followed, he would smoke pot regularly, do cocaine and ecstasy, and develop addictions to methamphetamines and heroin. Nic’s father, David Sheff, a renowned journalist who has written for The New York Times, Wired, Fortune and Rolling Stone, never gave up hope and helped his son battle and overcome his dangerous addictions.

    Too bad the same empathy and or sympathy was never offered poor people in the 1980s during the Crack epidemic or the later meth epidemic...Hypocrisy at its finest.

    'Tweak' is just another ridiculous dramatization of a junkie's life while using; that's about all the 'Beautiful Boy😅' has to write about. It's just another in a long string of such books: " Confessions of an English Opium Eater " ; "Junkie " ; " High Achiever: The Incredible True Story of One Addicts Double Life ", " Scar Tissue ". Well, I spent almost 28 years on heroin and am now on methadone. It was terrible, and I definitely am not going to use it to write another stupid drug saga. Nic Sheff is a screwball...
