Q&A – Should I give this book to a recovering addict?

Here’s a good question from thehabit237 with an even better answer, enjoy:
I just finished reading the book Tweak for the third time, the memoirs of Nic Sheff, who was a crystal meth addict. My cousin is a recovering addict and I was wondering if I should give this to her as inspiration or what, I’m not sure if I should. I don’t want her to read it and want to do drugs again through reading the experiences..can anybody help?

Answer: umm i am a recovering meth addict and i dont like reading and watching movies with lost of drug references and stuff. ive been clean 3years now but it always makes me want to use and in the first like 1year of recovery i would slip up and use because of things like that and i would have to start all over and now i havent slipped up for 3years so i wouldnt.
