Where can you read about people who have overcome drug or alcohol addiction (autobiography is interesting; how they perceived it)?

e-reading.club "The Heroin Diaries" of Nikki Sixx, bassist of the cult band Motley Crue, is the real diary of a scandalous rock star during his heroin addiction period. Honest, dirty, riddled with hopelessness and pain, very impressive

Andrey Doronin has a book "Transsiberian Back2Black" - there is just about perception, life stories and experience. It is written very interesting.

The first part - http://andrewdoronin.ru/2013/, if it enters, the second is also there.

Not really about "reading", but a real story is told by a girl on the Understanding Drugs and Addiction course on futurelearn (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/understanding-drugs-and-addiction/)

Christiane F. "Me, my friends and heroin". The book describes without embellishment the life of a simple teenage girl, gradually becoming addicted to the needle. The breakdowns and all sorts of abominations that heroin addicts face are realistic. Well, the difficult path of rehabilitation, of course. The work is read very quickly and is written in a simple language, I recommend it.

There is a forum notdrink.ru, where alcoholics and sozavismye learn to live anew without their addictions. Istria, happy and vice versa, will last for a long time).

Start with the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" - this is a program book, it was written in reality, of course, by Alcoholics Anonymous. And this is interesting, as any story of practitioners who, with trial and error, created a working - and very effective! - technology.
