I bet it can't be easy writing on such hard hitting personal experiences like that. And to be so articulate and honest about too. This stuff honestly trumps films like Trainspotting by a mile. Thanks for sharing T. Love the memoirs as always 🖤

Thomas, thank you giving us an intimate and vivid peek into that world without making us feel like voyeurs. You have a remarkable talent in writing and speaking.

Striking. I'd be interested in what you made of William Burroughs's book Junky, and his various remarks about opiates. Read it when I was 20 and decided never to go anywhere near drugs. I stopped taking codeine after my fingers were amputated, as I found the pain bearable and actually the drugs did almost nothing anyway. I know my own nature, my tendency to detach from the daylight everyday, to sink into nocturnal clarities and months' long solitude. I could imagine drugs utterly consuming me.
