Why France Shane? It sounds so uncivilised to any self- respecting drug-lover. Why not come back to the UK where the gear is still OK at £40 a gram (with or without anthrax added)? Or go to Portugal or the Netherlands where the laws are more liberal and the drugs more flowing? Better still, head for the Republic of Liverpool where you can get a gram of 30%-pure H for £25, delivered to your door by friendly scousers within 15-30 minutes of calling, any time from 10am to 10pm?

hey Kympton,

Not much pulls me through smack thoughts, certainmly not other peoples art... if anything it makes me want to use more - usually because it is so depressingly bad!

No, i'm not a violent person, but I've come from a violent place and it has always made up a part of my life. It's a weird thing when you live around it, and that is the reaction of everyone to everything. Also, and it's only since moving away, Britain is an extremely violent society. Not always physically, but just the way we command our personal space on the pâvement, the way we walk and even eye one another up. It's a very aggresive place. I understand that, but won't go into here. Like most things it's an essay.

France, it's a long story. basically I was dragged here by my partner who thought it would get me away from smack. It was an ultimatum: me or london. I choose her. As soon as I could speak enough I was out scoring. To deal with my use she started using, soon she was sticking more needles into herself than me. Then I set the apartment on firer, had an affair and the place imploded.

Alongside that, a year into my stay hear some legal issues arose in the UK which makes going back a risky proposition. Nothing too serious, but could possibly end in some jail time... I'd have to speak to a lawyer. So I'm trapped a little here.

You can find out about those things in the posts "methadone maintenance & continental socks" and the legal issues "Modern day pen pusher".

For a while I was having heroin sent over in the post but the amounts got bigger and bigger and when I found out I could get three years in prison for the amounts I was receiving each week I stopped. Now I get the occassional few bags posted across. (If the police are reading - as someone mailed me saying they are - CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!)

Hi Ruth,

Oh, that's over and done with and it needs to be settled so it's nothing. She's actually been very sweet and we've become friends again. So it's all fine.

Timings never good... life don't care for such things.
