Script
They say an idle mind is a devil’s workshop and this indolence during the pandemic was what propelled me to the world of narcotics fiend. I remember the first jab of heroine that I took when I was 23. I remember feeling ecstatic and at ease. I loved being in this world of euphoria, I liked escaping from my reality. It was addictive, so much so that I became anxious, helpless and enraged when I couldn’t get a hold of the substance. I sold anything and everything that I could just Narrowing down to people’s journey on how they overcome their addiction to be able to buy the drug. I spiralled out of control; I couldn’t recognize the person looking back at the mirror anymore. I felt low in spirit. I decided to pick myself up and caught a glimpse of hope in the form of new friends and court. So I departed my old ways and leaped to reach the net.
