pickI really, really enjoyed and recommend this book. It‘s not just about substance addiction but how we can all be addicted to something- success, control, affection. I think anyone can get something from this book 🙏
This month‘s spiritual direction read. I‘m way more into it than I thought I would be. We all can be addicted to something- control, success, relationships- and the author makes a great case for this.
pickThis book is so incredibly sad. It‘s sad for the boys father, mother, sister, brother and especially poor Nic the addict. It shows that it doesn‘t matter how much you love your children and how good you provide for them, addiction is an illness and very hard to overcome. For parents with children with drug addictions or for anyone who would like to learn why people become addicts, this book is well written and educational. Highly recommend.
pickI think this book was mentioned in another I read about running. It tells about the authors journey through alcoholism and running as a means of healing. The book tells about different races he ran while also telling personal stories from his past. Enjoyable read.
pickA thoughtful look at a difficult subject. The protagonist learns leaning on her friends does not make her less strong or smart. TW: addiction and drug use.

This memoir offers an in-depth account of a father's experience with his son's addiction. Sheff did a fantastic job of combining and balancing personal experience with statistical and objective research about drugs, parenting, interventions, and recovery, to name a few.
