| I HAD MY FIRST TASTE
OF DRUGS AT 10 I have been doing drugs for twenty years and for the last ten years I have been a Heroin addict. I started taking drugs when I was ten,all my friends were doing it,it was a case of peer pressure really. We were sniffing glue and smoking Pot. From there we went on to taking Speed,doing E's and Acid. Then,ten years ago I started taking Heroin. I have tried Rock a few times but it never appealed to me, it was too good. I knew that if I got a habit on Rock I would of killed myself quite easily. You're not satisfied with just one hit, you have got to have another, and then another, and another, and another. Before you no where you are your £400 in debt. I have been clean for six months and I have moved from Preston just to get away from the people I used to hang around with. There's only one way to kick a habit and that is to stop associating with the people you used to do drugs with. You have got to get away from them completely and totally change your way of living,from having a £100 a day habit and having lots of friends to being a normal everyday person. I have been homeless for six years. I have slept on stairwells in high rise flats,I have lived in a tent for four months and it's not nice, it's very cold. I used to do so many drugs to just numb the cold,take it away. Luckily a couple of years ago I got in touch with a really understanding doctor. We worked on a program were I reduced from 100ml of Methadone to were I am now having a couple of Dihiadracodine's a day. He's been my tower of strength. In the future I want to start college to do some first aid,some mathematics and some English.Over the next two years I would like to join the Red Cross and go to Africa to help out there, because I want to do something constructive with my life, to put something back in. I said this two years ago when I first made the decision to get off the drugs and that's what I am still aiming at now. With all the catastrophes that are happening there are never enough people to help out. |
