More than just a word

Addiction, a word that has been given a negative connotation and has been associated with the members of society who find themselves lost and betrayed by the empty promises of substance abuse. But what led them to that path? It's believed by many that they chose that path with the complete understanding of the consequences, but how many of them actually did? The hardships of life live within every human being, but it shows more vibrantly in those who fall into its depths. In just the first pages of this novel the pain and unclear knowledge of why and how addiction began are addressed and processed through the life of a young teenager. A boy who had all the power he was capable of to change his path, and for some reason that was even unclear to him, he was hooked. Addiction can be associated with a variety of things. Addiction in his case is faithful to pills and his love for Debbie. Pills and love seem to be two completely opposite words, but both prove to be equally as harmful to his young life. I can only imagine where they'll both lead.
