Books that helped me understand addiction (in my teens):
It will never happen to me by Claudia Black (about the patterns children take in addiction households to survive and cope with childhood)
Manchild in the Promised Land by Claude Brown (a black male writes about his childhood in Harlem when heroin hit the community. He was in a gang at age 6.)
