NIC SHEFF: Spent much of his childhood bouncing back and forth between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. He began using alcohol and drugs early on, even before his teen years, and by high school he was a regular user of ecstasy and cocaine. Living on the street for much of the time, Sheff became involved in various destructive behaviors such as selling drugs and working as a prostitute in order to support his addiction. Eventually, faced with the choice of jail or rehab, Sheff dropped out of college to seek treatment, at which time he was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He later went on to write 'Tweak' and 'We All Fall Down: Living with Addiction', both of which were welcomed to rave reviews and remain prominent accounts of what it's like to deal with addiction. His writing has been published in Newsweek, Nerve, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
