There are a multitude of different journeys that people take in to and out of addiction. However, despite this multitude of experiences, involving people of wide-ranging personalities and social backgrounds, there are a number of common themes that resonate about the way that people become addicted to substances, live out their addiction, and find the path to recovery.
I am writing a series of “Journeys” articles, which focus on: a) common themes that resonate about people’s journeys into and out of heroin addiction, and b) common factors that influence these journeys. I have used heroin users’ own accounts of their lives, since these are the people that can best educate us about recovery from addiction.
