Description
What happened to my wonderful boy?
To our family?
What did I do wrong?
These are the questions that haunted David Sheff at every step of his journey in the fight against his son’s addiction to drugs. Nick was a charming young man—funny, a sportsman from the university team, an excellent student adored by his younger brothers and sisters. And then he turned into a trembling ghost who lied, stole, and lived on the street. With disarming honesty, David Sheff traces the first warning signs: denial, phone calls at 3 a.m. (“Is it you, son? The police? In the hospital?”), attempts at rehabilitation.
Helping his son turned into an addiction for David too. Compulsive worry and stress nearly broke him. He searched for every treatment option that could save his son, and he wasn’t going to give up on Nick.
This is a story about a teenager’s dependence on a parent and a parent’s dependence on a child. A chronicle of the collapse and return of hope.
A film based on the book has been made, starring Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell in the lead roles. It received BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations.
