书籍介绍
翻开这本书,读者最先被击中的往往不是某个结论,而是那句近乎逼问的话:谁告诉你,童年一定是快乐无比的?当一位长期酗酒者平静地说出父亲是酒鬼、母亲严重抑郁时,所谓「快乐成长」的叙事便彻底崩塌。作者把目光从「毒物」转向「为什么有人需要逃避」——海洛因对东区患者意味着三岁时裹上暖毯喝到的鸡汤,苯二氮䓬类药物换来「正常 functioning」的幻觉。这本书最锋利处,在于拒绝把成瘾与疾病简化为个人意志或基因缺陷,而是追问压在人身上、却看不见的东西:优绩主义下察觉不到的疲惫,为维系关系而咽下的「不」,被权力结构悄悄瓦解的生命力。它适合那些被身心折损却始终得不到解释的人,也适合愿意把医疗从「对症下药」推向「看见整体」的读者。

精彩摘录
  • "Curtis's words reminded me of what I often heard from my hypermarginalized Downtown Eastside (DTES) patients. "What does the heroin do for you?" I once asked a patient just admitted to Onsite, the detox venue above Insite - then North America's only supervised injection site, where I was staff physi"
  • "Lena Dunham's tranquilizer dependence provided the temporary illusion of normalcy - an illusion reinforced by the fact that, in our society, her drugs of choice are often acquired via “legitimate" means - a doctor's prescribing pad. “Pharmaceuticals hold this magical promise of making you function n"
  • "Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, perhaps the world's best-known former heroin addict, crystallizes this escape strategy in his autobiography, Life: “It was a search for oblivion, I suppose... the convolutions you go through just not to be you for a few hours.""
  • "To map the hard and inhospitable terrain from which addiction springs, it's worth asking the people who have traversed it. Listening to their lived experiences leaves one with no confusion about what needs to be soothed, and why. We lack the space to chronicle all the tragic origin stories of the ma"
  • "It may surprise many to learn that no drug is in itself addictive, not even the most notorious “high risk” ones like crack or methamphetamine. Most people who try drugs, any drug, even repeatedly, never become addicted. The reasons why throw further light on the nature of addiction."
  • "Although the world's most advanced capitalist country evinces the rawest individualistic ethic, leaving the majority of its people mired in insecurity, we are not speaking of a uniquely American trend. Such is the overweening economic and cultural influence of the U.S. throughout the world that, as "
  • "While most people experience loss of control and waning security, others enjoy a surfeit of these. For this stratum of society, even conflict is not such a source of stress - in any struggle, the greater the power, the less the threat. It used to be that only people accused of Marxist tendencies wou"
  • ""The statement that the physical and mental life of man, and nature, are interdependent means simply that nature is interdependent with itself, for man is a part of nature." So wrote a twenty-six-year-old Karl Marx in 1844."
