Try "This much I know is True" . Not mainly about addiction, but has a major part,and very good.
Also "Rush"- Excellent! And I've read other books by the same author, they are also. Her name's Sue W.-(gotta get the name, sorry )She's a former police officer who became addicted while working as an undercover narcotics officer.

There's a book "Kids from the ZOO station" (Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo) written by a teenage girl Christianne F. It's about teenagers on heroin in late 1970's Berlin. And it's a true story. An excellent book.

Anthony Kiedis (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers) has an autobiography out called Scar Tissue. It was one of the best books I have ever read; the story of his heroin addiction among many others.

Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas by the late Hunter S. Thompson. Another kind of freaky book is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." It's a great read.

If you want a self help book then I don't know. But if you just want a really good read, than there's Dopefiend by Donald Goines.
