A look at addiction without making it like something easy to deal with. Alex has struggled with drugs all his life. His story is heart wrenching. He was introduced to drugs at a much to young age and has craved it all of his life.Alex has loved Leah since they first met. He has also been battling his addiction since. He loves her but his love for heroin is much greater than anything. He's so broken he can't seem to find a way to heal himself. He depends on drugs to get him by day by day.Leah loves Alex so much she's blind to him using. She knows he has been using but doesn't want to admit it. She doesn't want to confront him about anything until she has to.They are both broken because of Alex's drug use and they live in a nasty cycle. It's not until Leah's forced to make a decision that things don't start to change.This is heart wrenching story that had me crying at times. At times I thought it would be best if Alex died so his misery and pain could be over. But I didn't want Leah to ever give up on Alex because I knew that would be the end of him. He would die without her and her love. I was so torn about Alex. I didn't know if he could pull himself out of the hell he was living in.I knew Alex needed to hit rock bottom in order to seek help but I wasn't sure if he would make it. This is a story that breaks your heart. It's written in such a way that makes you feel the emotions of the characters. The characters seem very real.This is written in such a way that it can be anyone's story. It reads like a true story. I highly recommend this story.
