I’m 19 and I have a little sister who’s 13 and considering going down the drug route. I have talked to her and tried many options. I told her the harm to her body, family, and life it can take on her and she still won’t listen. I’ve tried a few things as well and she knows but I don’t want her to be like me. I hate that I’ve been a bad role model but I have quit everything and want her to to look up to me now. What do I do??

No, Kaybo. You are right. Marijuana doesn’t cause overdose..it is not so “strong.” That is why folks with a tendacy to addiction or abuse move on to something “stronger.” For those folks MJ is truly a gateway to something else.

Read the book. Cried. But I think, Nic, that you are as addicted to females as you are to drugs. Just something to think about. Good luck!!

My name is Jerilynn. I have been recovered from alcoholism for over 11 years. Nic's book was the best book I have ever read. He is brutally honest and is honestly brutal!!! I read his book is one day, I could not put it down. He truly tells the insanity of his addiction and how the twelve steps can turn your life around. That's if you really want to stop your addiction and turn your life over to God or a higher power. I was drawn to his book after I saw him and his father on Oprah. I immediately purchased his book. Maybe now I can truly understand my sister's addiction to crack cocaine. Unfortunately, she died on an overdose in 1999. Truly the best written book I have read in years. He is honest, so honest. I cried at the end. I truly hope that Nic can keep his life on track. He is a wonderful, very creative young man with a gift from God. I know that his book will help other people who are addicted or help their families understand the power that addiction has in their lives. Fantastic reading!!!!

This is for Jennifer Parkison the fact that you pick up a drink here and there scares me one is to many and a thousand is never enough. Step one says you are powerless over your addiction you picking up an occasional drink means you have not correctly worked a step one PLEASE E-MAIL me AT dspiro1@my.stlcc.edu

Nic if you read this please respond if you want . Have you heard if Subutex will be more effective than Suboxone . The naloxone in this form seems to not let me get the full effect of the medecine I have been on it about four years . When I first got on it they said the withdrawls would not be near as bad as herion. But when I tryed to kick just being on 1 milligram the detox went on for weeks . I am upset because my doctor said it should not be that bad .I still can not get off it but at least i am not poking myself with needles no more.

By the way I heard you and your father on the radio last week it was really ironic that my mom ran into you and i heard you on a radio station i never really listen to .
