    It is so sad that people turn to drugs because of childhood trauma, which seems to be the case here and I hope Mark/Martin you get over this and move on with life because you seem to be a nice person that has a lot to offer. Those that turn to drugs through clubbing and peer pressure I have absolutely no sympathy with, they make that choice and will suffer for the rest of their lives. I have known a few people who took speed, weed and/or ecstacy and all have had mental health problems. Not surprising but people still do these things which is also so sad.

    A lot of truly good people are addicts. It’s a terrifying disease that I had a personal battle with for over a decade. I feel addiction is the result of lack of connection. It isolated me for years. Luckily I somehow broke free. I’m not qualified to suggest how anyone should break free. I wish all those out there struggling mental peace,clarity and hope they find the realization they still have value. For those who have never been addicted consider yourself fortunate and try not to make generalizations about those who are. Some people you would never suspect are addicts may be suffering in silence and nobody is immune from entering that world of addiction. It can absolutely happen to anyone.
