and booze and addiction. i think with addiction the end result for anybody is death, prison, or institution. it's the story of the fight to get clean for those living the edge. generally, seriously, one slip would kill me, because i'd feel like there would be no going back. a sharp scratch. at a time when drug and alcohol deaths are soaring, something has to change. i simply hope that people will who have been treated rather like lepers are now on a journey which treats them as people with a health condition and that they have hope that it can be better.
