Read his book, Tweak. It was an amazing novel; I couldn't put it down. Having been a meth user & addict myself, I have to say that this book did help me on my journey to recovery and gave me more insight as to what meth can do to you, and upon reading that and going to rehab, I was able to stop before things spiraled out of control where there was no turning back. So all in all, I HAVE to say... THANK YOU, Nic Sheff, for your brilliantly written novel and all the inspiration it gave me. I am now clean & sober, pursuing my carreer as a newspaper journalist, in college, and doing much better. Thanks, my mentor. You are an amazing person, and congratulations on your own personal escape from the most powerful drug ive ever known. Good luck in your future, and thank you once again :)

Nic is such a beautiful person its really sad he thinks he is ugly, he's definitely not even close to that. And his books are incredible ! You are totally rad Nic, kudos!

so I guess they are kind of similar though sort of opposites

They're adapting the book to a movie, Steve Carrell and Timothée Chalamet are the father-son duo, they are both great actors.. I'm really looking forward to see this and to reinforce the idea of the open discussion of what drug addiction does to young people. This book is very personal to me as my cousin was a meth addict too and sadly it didn't turned up well at all, when I read this book it was like living my family's struggle all over again, it made cried a lot, cause Eduardo (my couin) was such a funny and really quirky and intelligent boy who lost himself in drugs and we had to see him sunk low and low even if we tried to help him, he refused, he died almost 8 years ago and we all miss him.

This isn't my account but it's my little brothers, I'm 17 years old and used adderall and ecstacy for about 3 years straight. I have to say it was the most difficult part of my life, from the stealing, the lying and cheating.. War doesn't even compare to the hell these grugs put your self being into, emotionally and physically.. I'm actually writing a book as well but my book is filled with poems to help other teenagers and anybody who wants to understand how this can ruin your life....I'm clean

tweak is freaking crazy what he went through beautiful boy is so sad

Tweak has got to be one of the best books I've read EVER in my life. It's really intruiging how everything happened and how strong Nic transformed through all the shit he went through. You're mad, happy, sad, scared and doubtful - all at the same time. Only to learn how strong you can come out of a horrifying experience like this. I've learned so much and it's changed my views on drugs and addiction for LIFE. Thank you so much for writing this book, A Beautiful Boy is my next book to read.

I've had them BOTH for a couple years. Not ready to read either one until just recently. And then I googled "which to read first", and people suggested to read Beautiful Boy first. Well, I can hardly put it down. I'll be finishing it soon. 2/3 way through it right now.

It's sort of sad how during the entire book tour with his dad nic was never sober he was smoking pot every single day

One of the best series I have ever read in my life

Wow, his dad is so wonderful. and I totally identify with Nic. Love their openness.

I think I love Nic Sheff. I didn't even watch this yet and I'm excited just to hear his voice. I love his book. I hope everything works out for him. I'm planning on reading his father's too.

Six years Nic. You are making it, and will never back down. Congrats.

I just finished We All Fall Down. God damn, like, I am a pretty well off teenager from a wealthy part of Connecticut, and like, I've had my fair share of experiences with drugs, and I've lost a few friends to hard drugs and like, listening to Nic's story brings me to tears every single time. Everything about this kids life has completely changed mine, and I'm sure not mine alone. I hope anybody struggling with addiction has the opportunity to follow Nic. He's a beautiful kid, in every aspect.

I just finished 'Beautiful Boy'. Could not put it down. Now I am starting 'Tweak', how interesting to see this nightmare from the father and then the son's perspective. Thanks for writing both books.

I read both books and recommend them highly to anyone out there trying to get a firmer grasp and understanding of this epidemic of Meth addiction.

its really sad that he thinks he's ugly, he truely is really beautiful and i salute him for his bravery in recovering this terrible drug

Nic Sheff is truely inspiring for me.. I can relate to Tweak sooo much. I'm 3 months sober and I really hope to do better.

Now I really want to read this book after seeing all the positive reviews, thanks!

Reading Tweak right now and loving it so far.

I bought Tweak yesterday and I finished in a day. I didn't put it down for more than 10 minutes. It is honestly one of the best books I've already read, I can't wait to read Beautiful Boy.

nice came to talk to my school a while back to tell his story. the way he explained everything, it seemed like he didn't even feel anything while these horrible things happened to him. the way he described how he felt on drugs really illustrated how dependent on them he really was. Nic's story is one of the saddest ones ive ever heard

Tweak was awesome, I just finished it monday I teared up at the end when they were doing the drawing part

Excellent Book!!!! I finished it last night and read it in just 4 days. I couldn't put it down. Good luck Nic! I know how hard the addiction struggle is.

I read Beautiful Boy, and I'm nearly finished with Tweak. They're both great books, and it's weird to see Nic on there looking so clean, and as I'm reading this book, he keeps letting me down everytime he hits the rehab clinics. . .I hope he stays clean forever, man. He has a lot of potential.

I love this book i couldnt stop reading it when i first got it and its really really inspiring

I'm just about to finish the book Tweak, and I just think it is absolutely amazing. I can't put it down almost ever. After watching this, I think I'll get a little better feeling for who he is. Hearing his voice and actually seeing him will definitely change the way I look at the book.

This book changed my perspective on a lot of shit, the things that us humans take for granted, and how to recognize what really matters in life. I am no addict, but I feel as though I can really relate to his feeling of trauma from his family, and his longing to be accepted and be made feel better about himself. It honestly makes me want to go into that last rehab he spoke of in Tweak just for the psychological issues they help him over. I love this shit. Respect to Nic and his family.

nic and his family went through a lot. they are the best family that went through a lot. I love how they went through with this.;) Love u Nic

Nice to see others trying to stay clean, I remember it was about a year ago that I decided to walk off Methadone cold turkey, it had been after 3 years of continual daily use. I went through withdrawals for 2 weeks, and 5 days with no sleep at all, I felt like I was losing my mind and like I constantly wanted to jump out of my skin.

I love his book. I couldn't put it down ! I hope everything works out for Nic and his addiction. His book was truley amazing !! Hope everything works out for you nic,.

THEY SHOULD MAKE NIC SHEFF'S LIFE INTO A MOVIE, THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!

wtf is this music

He's gorgeous. i love the way he doesnt hold back and he's blunt about,well,everything. I LOVE HIM!

My heart goes out to Nic. I saw on CNN today - 4/16/09 - , that he had relapsed back in 2008. All I can say, Nic, is, without any judgment, you are in my prayers, bud, you can do it again, I have complete faith in you.

Thank you..for this book. I read Nic first and realized after his last rehad why i do drugs.. i was never hard core but enough to control my life...the i read his dad's acount and i thought maybe if i told my family i could be done with it.. but it's been a secret for soo long.. i get how nic felt.. powerful.beautiful.all that..god, i get it thank you you;ve helped me

idk if u guys saw the oprah show with nic and his dad, but at the end it said that nic had relapsed 2 times within a year of that shows recording!

I just finished Tweak. It is by far the est book I have read in a LONG time!!

its really sad that all these terrible things happened to him, because nic really is a good person, personality wise.

im reading Tweak right now. This book is one of the best I've read.

Halfway on reading the book. Such a good book!

I´ve read Beautifull boy like 10 times it´s one of my fav books. I´m dying to read Tweak just to know Nic´s perspective. It´s interesting and sad how a wonderfull boy with a lot of talent can be destroy by the drugs, and it´s incredible how he never gave up and even when it was hard, he mantains sober and tries to help other people who are in the same way. Another thing: he really is beautiful :)

such a good book

I just finished both books. and well i can also relate. but after reading this it made me think twice. i was looking for the same high. i was smoking for so long. and i was suicidal and i wanted to die and the only thing that was there keeping me alive and away from the pain of the world was drugs. these books made me think twice about doing heroin and meth and coke. sometimes i still want to try it. but i think about these books and i cant. cause i know no one will be there to help me stop.

amazing book. amazing dude

Love the books. Both Great Men.

Nic sheff is like my hero :] im reading tweak and its just amazing

i am reading tweak and its amazing.

What is the name of the song?

this was an amazing book

It was either on his blog or David Sheffs website. Cant remember...

i love nic sheff

I heard he relapsed in 2008. I hope he's doing well. and his father as well. I believe he can do it again. My prayers are with them x3

nick sheff is an amazing writer.

read Beautiful Boy, recommend every parent read it but not only parents teens, 20 somethings, everyone. It doesn't just happen to other people and it does happen that fast.

I was also using adderall to where I had about 200 or milligrams a day and the average dosage for one individual is 30 to 50 milligrams. I respect Nic and David Sheff because my mother went through the same thing they went through as well as my family. For all those kids' and even adults' out there remember this," You don't do meth, Meth does you," or any drug for that matter.

I heard he was publishing another memoir called "we all fall down" in spring 2011. does anyone know if this is true?

I read Beautiful Boy, the fathers point of view and it was an awesome book. I'm trying to get a copy of Tweak now, I'm sure the 2 stories are going to be completely different in that they have different opinions and memories of what events went on.

Is Nic doing ok nowadays? Anyone know? I'm reading "Beautiful Boy" for the 2nd. time and its hard to set it down. I wanna read "Tweak" again too.

Nic Sheff is my hero

I got to meet him yesterday :D

im currently reading Tweak =]

Great book nic!!! Your a cool cat.

@xMikeRiedx his other book "we all fall down" is great as well

Stay strong Nic! :)

I really do wish many stories turned out to be just like this. Teenagers nowadays just don't know what to do anymore.

You need to read all the books.... Beautiful Boy by David Sheff and then Tweak and We all fall down. I felt like I was reading about my life as a parent of an addict, and that Nic was a clone of my son. Good books.

WHERE THE FUCK IS GACK AT!!!

Suboxone saved my life holy shit 20 days clean from heroin

im so much like him

I read Beautiful Boy, Tweak and then We all fall down.

Nic is adorable, i ♥ him .

Love tweak great book

how do you know he relapsed?

Yeah, I don't doubt it. When I made the decision to beat this shit, it didn't stop all at once. I relapsed several times over the course of a couple years, but it finally clicks. I haven't touched the shit in about 2 years now, and have had the chance. You just can't associate with the old crowd while you've got that weakness in you. Maybe you could go back years later when you've developed the strength, and hopefully help them, but you've got to help yourself first.

Man, He looks EXACTLY how I imagined him, EXACTLY, HOLY CRAP IT'S SCARY. The book is amazing though D:

Who knows All Time Low? You cannot believe how much he looks like Alex Gaskarth. Anyway, he is inspiring.

im jus bout finished readin tweak!!! i love it one of my fav books.. how sum1 can go tru all of dat nd cum ou de other side is amazing!! if u've not read de book yet go ou nd buy it!!! ur missin ou... (",)

@Rawrbilynn123 hell yeah! good call..and his Dad too!!

You are probably correct. :( Guess I've always been in denial about that. :(

beautiful boy is wonderful

i'll have to agree with the comment below me, he's a really good guy, and my heart goes out to him. he's relapsed twice, but still continues to try, and that's what matters. and yes, he does have some pretty stunning looks. :)

duddddddee! i know he is very cuteeee, i wonder what lauren looked like. he's my inspiration. there's always hope to make a change, if you really put your mind to it. favorite book!!!!!!!

@tweakyjew I never said it wasn't. Actually I said that addicts go back, referring to it as being normal....not knocking anyone. I'm an addict myself.

Tweak and We All Fall Down are literally just the best fucking books ever. I don't want them to be finished ):

You never beat a serious drug addiction. No matter how long you're sober, at some point you'll be bored and even if you don't go back to the drug it will always come to mind time after time. Theres never a point where its as if it never happened. You always think back on it. Whether you relapse is a different story.

I understand wheres he's coming from in a way, I'm also addicted to Crystal Meth. I think about it every day. I still dream about it. It's a hard thing to get away from.

@ItsNotColdEnough If you read the book his parents who were sympathetic gave up and were disappointed in him and angry with him.

i think i'm in love with nic

@ waydoh87 dude this kid fought through one of the hardest battles there is. you clearly have no understanding of his situation at all. and to come out of it and try to send a message to other people makes it that much more amazing. calling him a piece of garbage is about as intelligent of a comment as something a two year old might come up with on their own about calculus. clearly, you have been taught that life is always rainbows and ponies and anything that is not so should be struck down.

@iFeelFloral I just read it....it was really good. And yea he did relapse a few more times including while on tour he was smoking herb and dabbling in some pills. Anyways, I hope he makes it. He has the resources and seems to really really sincerely want it.

write to the publishers of the book, they always pass on positive letters :-)

Today march 26 2019

a lot of people are. that's the point

true

tweak is a really amazing book plus inspiring as well..nic sheff IS HOTTTT!!!

i have a book

just finished tweak.

@Dopecky18 doesn't surprise me at all. Most addicts go back and back until prison or DEATH. Its sad, but I know.

that is trueyou can't get healed until you admit that you are sick. god i hope i never try meth.

@plalelal he admits it in his new book "we all fall down"
