American Drug Addict by Brett Douglas

BATB score: 6/10

Best as: a complete memoir on how a drug addict is born, how it starts, escalates, cold turkey withdrawals, relapses; and how it effects everyone in your life 💯

BATB lingering thought: how pleasurably addictive is it that you don’t think about dying but merely to get high 🤔

Best to: he wrote this memoir in a psych ward upon his third suicide attempt

Best for: aren’t we all addicts of some sort? - everything escalated from there

Best quotes: “Drugs are my only true motivation. They’re my reward when life goes my way and my consolation prize when I experience failure.”

“Alcohol is a drug, and alcoholics are drug addicts.”

“The past is nothing more than my memory and the future is nothing more than my imagination.”
