Abstract
Abstract You know the rest of my story (so far): a happy and loving wife, a daughter (and a step-daughter); a supportive and relieved family, and a good job. It’s been incredibly hard work, earning back all the trust I threw away, all the while building a life for myself, working on maintaining my recovery, and staying clean. Every day is still a struggle, too, make no mistake. I’ll bet you know that already, too. Thinking back to how it felt to use drugs is something that I ordinarily try not to do, and I strongly recommend that you don’t, either. It’s a slippery slope back to substance abuse once you start reminiscing about the times you got high; when you find yourself doing that, take my advice and direct your thoughts elsewhere. And yet throughout the writing of this book, I wanted to at least look at that slope in order to convey to you the essence of what it is to be addicted to heroin, how I got hooked on it, what I did to break free, and most important, what I am doing now to try and stay free. If I knew some sacred utterance of warning about or release from the horrible bonds of addiction, I would tell you that, too.
