I am sure I have read other books #AboutAddiction but these two come to mind. The tagged is probably one of the first books about it that I read (as a tween). I just finished Seven Days in June for #SummerHeat buddy read & while it‘s about many things besides addiction, it certainly plays a large role in the story.

#bookmoods #aboutaddiction I read drinking memoirs often, many in my orbit have had issues with alcohol.I think people write them to help themselves stay in recovery and perhaps think that their story will help someone else realize they might have a problem. I liked both of these a lot.

“Drug overdose had already taken the lives of 300,000 Americans over the past fifteen years, and experts now predicted that 300,000 more would die in only the next five. It is now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of fifty, killing more people than guns or car accidents, at a rate higher than the HIV epidemic at its peak.” 💔

I bought this several years ago, but haven‘t gotten around to reading it yet. Sounds interesting and I‘ve heard good things about Laing‘s writing.

I enjoyed a few songs by The Sex Pistols back in the day and the new Pistol show has got me thinking about this book I read when I was a young teenager. This is Nancy‘s mothers story about Nancy‘s life and addiction. I couldn‘t put it down, I was totally captivated by her story and Nancy‘s relationship and ultimate death at the hands of her boyfriend Sid Vicious.

Both Sheff and his son Nic wrote books about Nic‘s addiction

I tried to read this book but I just couldn‘t get into it and ended up bailing about 50 pages in 😬 It does fit today‘s prompt #AboutAddiction though ☺️ I know a bunch of people loved this book, it just wasn‘t for me.
