Recommended reading, especially for those playing junkies/characters who are involved in drugs - “Tweak” by Nic Sheff. This is written by a young man who used to be a crystal meth addict and is quite a quick read. This book came out the same time as a memoir written by the author’s father - about his side of his son’s addition. Both are definitely worth reading. The father’s book is called “Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction”
