Refinished Sa 9/7/24. I last read the book and finished on We 8/18/21 and I first completed the book Fr 1/9/09.
TWEAK (Growing Up On Methamphetamines) by Nic Sheff
This time through I felt less critical of the book. Intelligent and artistic people can be addicts and their experience would be much different from normal people. However, somebody in his position will always have more 'chances' if and when he fails at sobriety.
And, as always with these books of recovery, nobody is allowed to drink or use drugs responsibly. Millions and millions of people can use drugs and do not have the dire negative effects, but the focus is always that substances are 'bad' and can never be used in a positive manner. Alcohol Annonymous is actually a religious organization regardless of their belief that "it's only a higher power, not god". The Oxford Group was an early 20th century Christian revivalist group and Wilson lifted most of their important tenents for Alcoholics Annonymous.
