To Hell and Back is the true life story of a drug addict and how she was rehabilitated. You can find her story at http://www.ontowebmedia.com. She also wrote a book "My Journey Through Darkness" that is available at this website.
Why buy the book when Ive lived the Life? Got enuf horror stories of my own thanx very much...
Ha ha Alaska, love how she's trying to plug... I could write my own f***ing book! It's a constant work in progress though and the end would have to be ...."to be continued".....

"basketball diaries" is one of my favorite heroin recovery stories. I know I could write a tear jerker about my usage.
I went away for a couple days then came back & read other's opinions on this & to know that someone posted it here just to try to EXPLOIT US really gets my goat.As I said before, I don't need to read anyone else's litany of woe, got my own thanx very much-And I'll tell you this, free, gratis & for nothing: EVERYONE has a bad story to tell, addict or not, there is no happy end for anyone,anywhere.We lose loved ones, have disappointments,nothing has a happy end. It's only thru the constant exposure to movies, tv, etc. we've become deluded enough to belive in a happy end.There is no happy end, guys.We can only help each other along & try to laugh @ the weirdness.Call me what you will:negative,bummer,jerk.I am a Realist.Go peddle yr woe elsewhere to squares who'd be impressed.
Ha ha, alaska... squares?? ha ha I love it. I've been calling people "cats" alot latley, I'm only 23, don't know where thats coming from, and "rad" too, but I am a child of the 80's.. I like this squares buisiness, it makes someone sound so awful.
Hi there Trooper 114,
You havent been watching "Train Spotting" lately have you? Renton and all his gang in the book and film would call people "Cats" ! So that could be where it's from or you've maybe picked it up elsewhere.I've posted on this site once before but I havent had the chance to get on-line for a bit.I have to use the computers at the library and there always quite busy, so I got lucky today and have booked an hour.I'm feeling quite chuffed with myself today as I have given another clean sample to my addiction nurse.I'm on an order from the court, it's a drug treatment & testing order for 18 months and it's basically aimed at keeping you out of jail, getting you on a maintenance script of either methadone or subutex, and giving you all the help and support you need from various different workers.It is quite intensive, I attend 4/5 appointments a week.2 are with the nurse to give samples and the rest are with my social worker and addiction worker.I'm 3 months into my order now, the first month was for my assesment (long time I know) then I got put onto 50ml of methadone for the next month but they put it up to 60ml as I was struggling to hand in clean samples.They thought it would help with the cravings and they might have done I don't know, but I decided there and then that enough was enough, so i'm nearly a month clean and feeling very proud of myself. I just take it a day at a time, i've got the medication to stop the physical withdrawal and the help & support I need for all the head f*** that goes with being an addict.Well sorry for going on a bit. I have been reading a few of the posts here and it seems like a great site to get advice and some extra support from people who have been there or are going through the same things themselves, I will definately be back.T.T.F.N.
