WHO IS AN ADDICT?
Most of us do not have to think twice about this question.
WE KNOW! Our whole life and thinking was centered in drugs in one form
or another - the getting and using and finding ways and means to get more.
We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a man or woman
whose life is controlled by drugs. We are people in the grip of a continuing
and progressive illness whose ends are always the same: jails, institutions
and death.
