What has become of my gorgeous boy? To our household? What went wrong with me? These heartbreaking questions followed David Sheff as he navigated his son Nic's drug addiction and his first hesitant steps towards sobriety. Nic was an endearing youngster, full of joy and humour, a varsity athlete, an honour student, and the love of his two younger brothers before he developed an addiction to crystal meth. He was a trembling ghost who lived on the streets, stole, and lied after using meth. The initial red flags are tracked by David Sheff: the denial, the three phone calls in the early morning—is that Nic? the hospital, the police? His obsession with Nic turned into a self-destructive habit. However, he immediately looked into every possible course of therapy for his kid as a journalist. He also persisted in trying to reach Nic.
