“I feel I was ripe for addiction because of certain stuff in my childhood. If I hadn't been given to my Nan; if I didn’t have an alcoholic father who beat my Mum… These things fuelled my need to kill the pain. By the time I took heroin, no matter what kind of environment I was in, what was going on in my family, the heroin just killed it. It made me oblivious; I didn’t care. It was beautiful.”
