I don't usually write anything for these, but this book really hit home.

I come from a family where addiction has and always been a struggle. Every person I have know has been addicted to something at some point, and sometimes it gets better. Most of the time it does not. My parents were addicted to substances and alcohol. I had a brother who was addicted, an aunt who relapsed several times before overdosing and passing four years back.

This book touched on very real themes. Very real circumstances. The struggles presented by the user and the person looking in on the outside, the person watching another destroy themselves. I think, this is one of the best books I have read in a very long time.
