    Hi Nic- just finished reading your book and your dad’s. They are both fantastic and we thank you for your incredible honesty in telling your story. You are an inspiration to anyone who is an addict or related. Keep well and safe- Sylvie and Marc from Port Elliot in Australia

    It is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,or where the doer of deeds could have done better.The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again & again.. who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly.his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat

    Folks are so critical of him. Hes SO brave & generous to share SO much for so many.People judge him.He’s sharing so vulnerably about the WORST struggles. I’ve seen all his videos, twice on Oprah. Nic was sensitive, calm, kind, cogent, great. He pauses.He’s talking about things that were hard. Nic Sheff is brilliant & yes, Beautiful in EVERY way. I’d marry him in a heartbeat, if I could. I love You Nic Sheff, I Always will. Nic Sheff is a masterpiece made by God, and is fine. He’s magnificent..

    Perverted comments should be on another board. This story is about two good men who were brave enough to share their painful experience, for the benefit of many.
    I can’t understand those still going on about such lewd, nasty stuff. Anyone with a basic knowledge of addiction knows addicts do things they would NEVER normally do,while under drugs influence. Hence, the phrase,to be ABOVE the infliuence. 12 Steps groups know people have to call out to God ( higher power).
    Others, pls, get help..

    Nic and Dave Sheff did something good & brave sharing their story, to benefit many.

    To imply they are any LESS than kind & generous in this, is to deny what makes a person human & what a MAN really IS.

    It takes nothing ‘manly’ to sit with fake name, & make lying comments about another’s pain.

    True MEN do NOT come to public forums with false names, hide, & knock down another man, just because of having a keyboard & the ability to run.

    As for me, I love Nic Sheff, and I always will.
