Original Air Date: 4-10-2008

In this episode, we hear from David Sheff, author of Beautiful Boy, as he shares the harrowing journey of watching his son descend into drug addiction; methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine, and more. His son, Nic Sheff, author of Tweak, offers his own raw account from the other side of addiction, giving voice to the pain, chaos, and complexity of substance dependency. Together, their stories offer a rare and honest look at how addiction impacts not just the individual, but the entire family. Other families also open up, revealing the devastation and heartbreak that drug dependency can bring and the hope that healing is possible.
