A wonderful movie


There are several wonderful movies on heroin addiction that are honest, this was one of them..I know because I am a recovering heroin addict and in the 1950's addiction was treated as a crime and the addict was seen as a weak immoral criminal heroin addicts were put in nut houses and given thorazine so they would shut up. I am 57 years old, so I didnt have to go through the Hell that addicts of my parents generationwere put through I havent shot dope since July 1, 2002. I am not in a 12 step program, I dont believe in abstnance I am on methadone, well enough of me. The movie was so real I could feel his withdrawls coming on, I remember trying to get to the connections house with the whole family wanting to know where I was going I remembered the fear when I was short on money, I lived that movie. Now the very best movie d, scrapping petty theftone on heroin addiction is called "The Panic in Needle Park" It was one of Al Pacino"s first movie and he studied his role because he looked like a junkie, with this movie, it is when I ran the streets, there were real junkies shooting dope on camera and it made me want to use so bad..I craved the lifestyle,the hussle, the stealing, the hussle the adrenaline I saw the movie and reality scared me to death..The Billie Holiday movie was also very good..Wat you have to understand is a junkie (at least my crowd didnt rat..I would rather go do the time because I will own up to my *beep* I read something about the movie "Days of Wine And Roses" not real enough plus I very seldom ink, just when I am in Las Vegas playing black Jack. I get very upset when newcasters say "Heroin is now for the rich middle class kids,Heroin has always been there fo of us areofr us to use, my first junkie ole man I had was from a very wealth family and so was my second..Some of the richest young people I know were/are heroin addicts.Aremthere still people so ignorant that they think only old men and African Americans are junkie and homeless? Well most are eitther sown on their luck or m

I felt like taking Heroin after trying to read the OP! Addicts do tend to ramble.
