A: When was the first time you tried a narcotic and what was it? B: It was two years ago and it was heroin. A: In what form?

B: They locked me in the apartment… A: In spite of this you continued … B: …for months. When I walk out together with the old friends… A: Do you feel guilty, because you have tried it in the first place or that you became an addict?

B: Yes. A: And you hope everything will turn out for the best? B: Yes, I do. A: Do you think that drugs should be legalized, as some of them are in the Netherlands? B: I think that only the joint should be legalized. A: Don’t you thin that if someone has once tried joint won’t easily pass on to something stronger – heroin for example? B: No, I don’t think so. I have a lot of friends, who have been smoking joint for years and they haven’t become heroin-addicts or something else. A: Don’t you feel afraid of the period, in which you’ll be in the hospital and you’ll have to give up heroin. B: No, actually I’ve quitted taking it 4 days ago. A: And how do you feel?

A: Will this be your first time in a “motivational group”? B: Yes, they said that as for I’m not taking any drugs, the results of my tests should be negative, which means I can join the group. A: Did you decide this all alone or… B: All by myself…I have a girlfriend, who doesn’t know and I don’t want her to find out. A: You care about her, don’t you? B: Yes, I do a lot. A: Where did you find heroin, when you needed it? B: On the same spot every heroin-addict goes in this city – the “gypsy neighborhood”. A: Were there times when you didn’t have heroin and you wanted it so badly that you would do anything just to get it? B: Yes, once I climbed down from the fourth floor when I was locked at home. A: Some say that drug-addicts usually sell out their whole property, including some of their parents’, just to secure the money for the next dose. B: I sold none of my parents’ property but some of my stuff – my computer, my CD player… A: Maybe this how your parents found out about your addiction? B: No. A: Then how did they? B: One evening I came back home and I was almost unconscious and I wanted to introduce my girlfriend to my father and that’s when he found out. A: Do you think that addicts can be dangerous to those, who surround them and to the society as a whole, when they don’t have what they want? B: I don’t know, but from what I’ve heard from my friends, such people have committed robberies. A: Without any fear that the police may catch them, I suppose? B: Well…most of them are already in jail… A: What does the world look like, when you are “high”? I suppose you forget about all of your problems? B: Yes, there are no problems…I can’t explain it exactly but it’s a wonderful feeling. A: How will you replace it now? With what? B: Parties, my girlfriend… A: Well then, thank you very much. We appreciate your help and we hope everything will be all right. B: If there is anything else I can do… A: No, that will be enough. Thank you very much. B: Bye. A: Good bye. |
