About this ebook

A teen plunges into a downward spiral of addiction in this classic cautionary tale.

January 24th
After you’ve had it, there isn't even life without drugs…


It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth—and ultimately her life.

Read her diary.
Enter her world.
You will never forget her.


For thirty-five years, the acclaimed, bestselling first-person account of a teenage girl’s harrowing decent into the nightmarish world of drugs has left an indelible mark on generations of teen readers. As powerful—and as timely—today as ever, Go Ask Alice remains the definitive book on the horrors of addiction.

I think I was so messed up when I stumbled onto this during my awakening and distorting preconceived notions that aren't and weren't ever mine but now rule my ego and id. My pre menstruation psychosis actually used this as a manual for anorexia, binging, hallucinations of flesh. Thus is where I picked up the hitchhiking demons who became what was hers, abd now were my demons... Well I'm leaving them back here for you. :-)(-: Stay high on da LoLo

Go Ask Alice has LONG SINCE been exposed as a FREUD, written by someone probably trying scare kids from trying pot. I repeat; this is NOT A REAL LIFE story. Google the subject. It surprised me as well. I read the book twice while in middle and high school. Good read, but a total freud. That's why most of the writing seems to be adult-like.

I don’t understand why so many people are saying terrible things about this book, but as the child of an addict, it has captured a piece of my heart . Explaining so many things that we could never understand.
