nyt Nick Reiner has struggled with addiction since he was a teenager. Our metric for addiction tends to be overdose deaths — more than 80,000 in the United States in 2024 — but the toll is far higher. It’s found in the ache in so many homes, among parents bewildered by a child’s self-destructiveness, as they toss about all night wondering what they did wrong, as they worry that the jangle of the phone will report an overdose, as they try to comprehend a descent into homelessness, prostitution or violence, as their fear for a child sometimes evolves into fear of a child. Addiction carves a vast river of pain through America. cr：杭之冯玥感谢您关注此人
