If a heroin addict can go on to achieve this then isn’t that an important message? That same addict now helps people all over the world with addiction issues. That same heroin addict wrote a book and donates ALL the profits to charity. If you agree then please like.

The severity of peoples addiction is always different. The severity of peoples trauma is always different. One of the main reasons for someone becoming an addict is to escape a traumatic life. #addiction #trauma
