No I just live in a really bad area. Lots of drugs and gang crime.

Ya hopefully
I suppose growing up here has educated me really. I wouldn't even touch a glass of alcohol or smoke a fag.

That is so good to hear - I've never wanted to smoke ever in my life, haven't had the problem of passive smoking neither as not many people smoke where I live or if they do it's all done behind closed doors. Thankfully, nobody in my family who I see reguarly smoke.

But to be from an area where lots of people smoke/drink etc. and not want to do both because of it - that is so much more of an achievement.

Watch Trainspotting Callum

As part of my 1st degree, the thesis was about the impact of health rehabilitation clinics and government health campaigns. I centred it on exactly the part of Edinburgh that the book and movie were based upon. I soon learned the futility of the folks' situations and why heroin became an almost logical choice when no prospect of employment, no hopes and sod-all to do all day.

Trainspotting tries in it's way to depict the dire situation and hopelessness.

I would but the graphic heroin use would make me feel queasy.

After a serious operation I was given the medical version of heroin (it's called diamorphine). It just makes you feel sleepy and takes the cares away.

After 3 days the medics stop it as it can become so quicky addictive. I have to admit, ven after 3 days, I was upset when they stopped mainlining me as had to come back into the real world. When I was bored in hospital bed, even when in little pain I'd get them to diamorph me to pass the time/tedium
