    About this audiobook

    In his bestselling YA memoir Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines, Nic Sheff shared a heartbreakingly honest account of his days as a teenage crystal meth and heroin addict. At the end of Tweak, listeners left Nic checking in to a rehab facility in Arizona. We All Fall Down is about what happened next...

    In this powerful and immensely readable follow-up to his first memoir, Sheff picks up where he left off and reveals his first-person account of stints at in-patient rehabilitation facilities, devastating relapses with alcohol and marijuana, and hard-won realizations about what it means to be a young adult living with addiction.

    In We All Fall Down, Nic voices a truth that many addicts understand: not every treatment works for every addict. By candidly revealing his own failures and small personal triumphs, he inspires young people to maintain hope and to remember that they are not alone in their battles.

      Putting A Painfully Real Face On Addiction

      STEVE CARELL IS A LITTLE NERVOUS TO TALK about his new movie. Well, not nervous, exactly—maybe it’s more that he’s cautious. He’s not sure he’s the best person to speak on the subjects at hand, and if he’s going to, he wants to get the words just rig

      Fortunately, Sheff is not as whiny or narcissistic in this memoir as he is in his first, Tweak, though he still manages to be quite unlikeable and astonshingly unsympathetic. Sheff affectively chronicles the ups and downs of trying to overcome his addiction and pull his life together in a raw, honest, and expletive-ridden narrative.

      Perhaps because I am a recovering addict myself, but I was entranced by Nic Sheff's vivid portrait of substance abuse in We All Fall Down. The title snatched my attention at once; how very appropriate! When our lives are overtaken by drugs, we will fall down. Every time.I do have one complaint, Sheff's language. His voice is unique in that his writing is exactly how he is thinking or saying. I give him kudos for originality there and enjoyed his story all the more for it. But the use of the "F word" began to get on my last nerve before I reached the halfway point. I can cuss like a sailor with the best of them yet Nic's every other word begins with an F and ends with a K.

      listening to this I'd like replaying my own life. The struggles with sobriety and journey to finding it. Thinking it's ok in moderation until you realize there's no such thing as moderation when your an addict.
    • 5/5
      Loved this book so much and was really happy to find it after reading TWEAK. If you are like me and left wondering what happen next at the end of TWEAK than this is another awesome book that answers many of those questions.
      If you have not red his other book I suggest you do because it was great but it's not 100% necessary to understand this one.
      I suggest this book to anyone in recovery from addiction or to anyone who is looking for a no BS account of what drug/alcohol addiction and recovery looks like.
      This is definitely a book that I found very helpful and its also one that I will never forget.

      If I were honest, there were times during this book that I thought I would rate it only one-star. I really wasn't digging on the direction he was taking me and that is just a testament to the roller coaster-life that the author lived. What won me over was the brutal honesty and the insight to his mental illness and addiction. I can't pretend to understand all of the issues and problems that the author had but I do think I gained a little insight that could help me in my own life. I appreciate Sheff's outreach efforts and I am grateful that he was able to survive the bad times to write this book.
