Tweaking it up...

Tweak hasn't gotten much better.... I've continued reading, but I'm losing interest, quickly. The book has gone in a more positive direction though, Nic is trying to become sober and live his life the right way, for once. He moved from LA and is living in his old, vacant apartment. He finds his run-down flat bike and his gear that he left a short time ago, to go full-fill a more thrilling, exciting, drug addiction life. Now that he is recovering, Nic tries to follow all the 12-step guidelines to the tee, and finding an inner peace with himself and with God. He prays all the time now, thanking God for what he has accomplished, rather than asking for something. He tries to help others, which actually helps himself in the long run. He depends on his best friend, Spencer, who is a recovering addict of 15 years to help him through his struggle of recovering. When Spencer becomes very ill and is sent to the hospital, they leave Nic in charge of their young little girl Lilly. He has to cook for her and make sure she gets up and gets to school on time, and at first Nic thinks the responsibility will be too much, but in the end he benefits from helping others and in return Nic is much more mentally stable to recover. He still has a long way to go though...
