Memoirs of Meth Addiction from a Father and a Son

A father and son have written parallel memoirs about the son's meth addiction. There's a glut of coverage about them:

• Here's a New York Times article about them.
• Here's audio of an interview with the two of them on NPR's Fresh Air.
• Here's an article by the father that evolved into his memoir.
• Here and here the New York Times book reviews of Beautiful Boy, the father's memoir.

I listened to the interview this afternoon and mixed feelings about some of it, but they did a good job illustrating how this is often a long haul for parents. Recovery doesn't come as easily or quickly as we'd like, and, sadly, there are no guarantees. But, more often than not, it does happen.
