We are all addicted to something.
To a person. To an emotion. To money. To power. To validation. To pain. To a version of ourselves we don't know how to let go of.
ADICTOS is a raw and honest exploration of the things that quietly take control of our lives.
Through personal experiences, real stories, and reflections born from survival, Julio Medina explores relationships, loss, loneliness, migration, ambition, addiction, and the deeply human need to belong.

ADICTOS is a raw and honest exploration of the things that quietly take control of our lives.
Through personal experiences, real stories, and reflections born from survival, Julio Medina explores relationships, loss, loneliness, migration, ambition, addiction, and the deeply human need to belong.
Miami becomes more than a setting. It becomes a mirror-a city of lights, excess, money, desire, and opportunity, where emptiness can exist behind even the most beautiful lives.
This is not a book about one kind of addiction.
It is about everything that consumes us while we convince ourselves we're okay.
Some addictions are easy to recognize.
Others hide behind a smile, a relationship, a dream, a bank account, a night of excess, or an obsession with proving to the world that we can make it.
And perhaps the most uncomfortable question isn't:
What are you addicted to?
But:
What are you willing to lose to keep feeding the thing you cannot let go of?
ADICTOS doesn't ask you to judge yourself.
It asks you to look at yourself.
And perhaps, when you reach the final page, you'll realize that some of the things we try hardest to control are the very things that have been controlling us all along.
