WHO IS AN ADDICT ?
Most of 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, and 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
