And he's written a very good article about it:

I cannot accurately convey to you the efficiency of heroin in neutralising pain. It transforms a tight, white fist into a gentle, brown wave. From my first inhalation 15 years ago, it fumigated my private hell and lay me down in its hazy pastures and a bathroom floor in Hackney embraced me like a womb.

This shadow is darkly cast on the retina of my soul and whenever I am dislodged from comfort my focus falls there.

It is 10 years since I used drugs or drank alcohol and my life has improved immeasurably. I have a job, a house, a cat, good friendships and generally a bright outlook.

The price of this is constant vigilance because the disease of addiction is not rational

It's a good long read and can be found in full, here:

The advent of Facebook as a sign of the coming End Times obviously scared him straight.

Check out his YouTube video on it. It's very good. Certainly more to him than meets the eye.

Great article - thanks

Methadone is a drug.. to me, taking methadone instead of heroin is like rearranging the furniture on the Titanic
