Nic Sheff the author and character of the book has finally realized that he needs to make a change in his life, after asking his father for forgiveness and a 5th chance he was turned down and had to go to a friends house named Spencer who went with him through 12 step programs. But the real question is, Can a person guarantee rehabilitation easily?
I think not because although we want change getting out of any addiction- can't live without- isn't easy because there is always a fear of not making it through especially if it has to do with drugs. Just like someone who wants to eat healthy after so many years of eating yummy greasy food, they need time and patience. A drug taps into the brain raising the dopamine levels which is the "high" someone feels, how can we expect someone to change if they have to go through problems in the world compared to a brilliant world, and energetic life as one as a crystal meth addict?
Nic Sheff goes through difficulty staying sober because he is used to a life of energy, fun, popularity and going back to work at a beauty salon making minimum wage instead of dealing the drugs, going day to day slowly getting eaten alive with problems that he faces instead of a life where problems were a snort away. But then there is a life that can be changed to better, because in the long run we can save ourselves from feeling too much from feeling too little or feeling depressed when your not high because the body is so used to so much pleasure that it becomes like a daily vitamin supplement.
Is the change better or worse? Drugs damage you because they are not natural and so the promising effect they offer doesn't work safely, the drug usually has to go to unwanted places to get to the brain. So yes change is better.
