Stories of rescue of former drug addicts
Roman i Laura
My name is Laura. I'm 28 years old. I was born in to a gypsy family in Ufa. My father led a life of promiscuity from a young age and even when he married my mother, it did not stop him. Later on, this life led him to severe drug addiction, in which he spent 20 years. My mother, in turn, tried to somehow feed her family, me and my brother. She used to guess, sell wine, cigarettes, and then she started selling nasha, "hanka." and a little later heroin.
Dima
My name is Dima. I'm 30 years old. I was born into an ordinary family of workers. Didn't smoke or drink until I was 20, did sports. I studied well, especially well given humanitarian subjects. Loved reading books.
In the years of perestroika, I realized that I wasn't satisfied with the duty, the routine. I didn't want to work in a factory and live from salary to salary, save for a car or anything else. I wanted to do everything at once. I joined the criminal movement of athletes and caught fire with this life, as it seemed to me "real life" life associated with "concepts.
oxana
My parents always wanted nothing but good for me. But since I was a child, I have had some kind of rebellion against the rules and principles that I thought I wanted to impose. In the summer of 15 I began to communicate with the guys who had money from the apartment and pocket thefts. This fun, adrenaline-fuelled life has fascinated me so much that I didn't want to be. In school and the neighborhood I grew up in, I did everything I wanted to do. I was scared and jealous, which gave me great pleasure. That was the first time I tried a drug without realizing I was trapped.
Igor i Olya
I was born and raised in Vladivostok. I was addicted to drugs for 16 years. I wanted to change everything very much - many times I tried to quit on my own, was treated in clinics, went to other cities trying to escape from drugs, but nothing helped. By the time I was 33, my life was completely ruined. I lost everything: my family avoided meeting with me, my friends turned their backs.
