And this is when things begin to fall apart...

No matter how severe our mistakes our, we all make them. Some have more severe mistakes than others and other believe that their mistakes will determine the rest of their life.
Nic Sheff was a teenager growing up in the age of drugs. This was a time when everyone was doing it and didn't think of the effects or outcomes. High School was a breeding ground for addicted teenagers and headbangers. As Sheff was thrown into the mix, he did what his friends told him to do, "smoke this" "try this" "sit back and relax." As any other teenager, Nic gave in and got sucked into the dirty world of methamphetamines. Pills were his number one priority and he lost his relationship with his mother, father and the ones who loved him. In the back of his mind, he knew what he was doing was wrong, but the craving for the buzz overthrew that care and love. Broken down, poor, dirty, and malnourished Nic hit rock bottom. No one would help, and he had no mode of helping himself. This is where the book ends in Tweak: the first novel written by Nic Sheff about his addiction. As he cleaned himself up, he toured around the nation advertising the book that pulled him out of the dark world and into the bright world of writing. As fans read his book, they felt connected and sad for the story that Nic lays in front of us. As the years went on of his on and off sobriety, he just couldn't take it anymore. He felt as if he was lying to the public about cleaning himself up due to his several relapses (while touring for his book). We All Fall Down is the epilogue that entails the story of his harsh relapses and the grueling effort to mend his broken wounds. If you read Tweak, you find that you are readinga very sad story about a messed up soul. But as you read We All Fall Down, you find yourself connected with a man that struggles to pick himself up again, but continues to fail. It is a personal story about his fight to become the person that he truly is and not let  the evil world of drugs take over his life.
I don't know about you, but I am the kind of person that enjoys reading real life stories. If you have the same feelings, write down in your infinitive list:
