To keep the good feelings alive, he became an habitual user. He did everything he could to avoid crashing. As a result, the addiction consumed his life and directly affected the lives of his family members.
The movie does a good job depicting this. Nic's parents, both journalists, divorced when he was 4 years old. He ended up splitting his time between his mother, Vicki, in Los Angeles and his dad in San Francisco. On the surface, he seemed to handle it fine. He got good grades and was captain of the water polo team. However, the emotions he was bottling up couldn't stay suppressed forever. When I started drinking [alcohol], I couldn't stop," Nic says of his first foray into addiction at age I felt like there was something deeply wrong with me.
I hated myself. I hated having to live with myself. At first getting high seemed like the only thing that could ever make me feel any different. I thought if I could only do enough of whatever drug it was, I would eventually feel whole—no longer like the alien. Because it wasn't working. I knew it wasn't working. But I kept trying and trying. I didn't know what else to do. Like in the Beautiful Boy movie, the real Nic Sheff kept journals. He used them as a resource when writing his bestselling memoir Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines , which chronicles his experiences as a teenager addicted to drugs.

At first, David kept his son's addiction hidden from family and friends, not wanting them to think badly of his son and how it reflected on him as a parent.
Even by his senior year, drugs hadn't had a severe effect on Nic's academics. Like in the Beautiful Boy movie, the true story confirms that he got into the colleges he applied to but first ended up in rehab instead. When he made it to the University of California, Berkeley, he dropped out during his freshman year. But I was already well on my way. To see Call Me By Your Name come out, for him to get so much recognition for that, and to watch his rise in popularity has been cool.
