- At the height of his fame - fronting the Libertines, going out with supermodel Kate Moss and being one of Britain's most famous drug addicts - Pete Doherty was emblematic of London's highlife.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
But now the singer has switched the capital for the shores of Margate.
And rather unexpectedly he and The Libertines are opening a hotel.
Before going on tour with his new band, he spoke to Minnie Stephenson.

he looks 40 and 19 at the same time
As someone with experience heroin, and I think, possibly methadone has that effect, I really should have googled this but I heard years back that it tightens the skin, and when you get clean from it for a substantial time your skin will look more like it's age...probably a load of bs

He’s got a baby face
A real life Doriean Gray!
that one tired looking 19 year old. tough paper round lol
I can handle getting older, but when I see the artists i listened to in the London pubs in my 20s hitting 40 and growing up, a great sadness overwhelms me, knowing that those years and gone and shall never return.
So true life moves fast
Gives me weird feelings in my stomach.
Same. I don’t to, and will not, grow older than my prime
It seems like he’s doing better than he’s ever been. Kind of seems like a positive, yea?
@@benedicthampus4964 what if you hit your prime at 78? Don’t check out too early, if you can help it.
I stopped paying attention to Pete Doherty about 10 years ago despite my love for the Libertines, and watching this interview makes me remember why -- it's really sad to see someone battle addiction to hard drugs. I'm happy he's alive and still has a creative mind intact, and I hope he lives much longer. I don't judge addicts; they're at war with their mind and body constantly.
absolute respect for that last sentence.
Sadly, as with most chronic addicts their brains are left with 'holes' in them. They struggle with sounding comprehensive, they struggle with self-forgiveness. Their teeth are terrible, they age prematurely. I wish addicts, no matter how many friends and family have cut them off, start with self-forgiveness. Addiction is a terrible curse, but it's an illness. Own your behaviour, apologise, but commit to loving yourself no matter what. When you are kind to yourself you'll see how the world falls in line with you. It breaks my heart to see the monster of self-loathing and shame weigh down on a life. Go well Pete.
Wut
Met him on accident one night in London in summer of 2006. He was really sweet, taking time to chat with us, a group of annoying teenagers 😂 seemed like a gentle and talented soul, wish him and his family health and piece
That was the most painful silence I think I've ever witnessed and that face he pulled as soon as she asked him about everyone he lost, it was a grimace to stop him breaking down.
To everyone saying he's smashed here I'd say no because if he was that question wouldn't have affected him, it's only when your clean you get those emotions back.
Not saying he's clean all the time, reminds me of a fumbling Ozzie Osbourne in his talk, I've known loads of long term addicts but not one who ended up like ozzy,they're all pretty together for the most part.
100%. Long term addicts will know that you can't feel anything - when you're so far gone you don't care about anything or anyone.
very good journalist, most interviewers wouldve interupted him when he paused to think but she let him think an create an awkard silence ( in a good way).
well, he hasn't cried on camera before so it would've made "good television".. Interviewers interrupt those moments to help distract them.
taliwakka27 he has cried on television before. In his news night interview years ago he cried his eyes out
@@andyrhodes9435 oh. Well it's still good TV as far as those sneaky bastards are concerned
taliwakka27 she should of got up and slapped him when he cried.
@@67underpar61 haha. she should have said why don't you go write a song about it you little baby
When he teared up so did I. Such a lovely and talented soul. Wishing him all the best that life can afford.
It's a shame he allows his dogs to rip apart people's pet cats other than that I'm sure he is lovely.
first time I'm watching an interview of him. He seems like such a nice person
looks like someone out of a Tim Burton movie
Johnny depp
"There's just this soldier inside me who never cries"... *cries*
Never been a fan of his music
But addiction is a horrible thing it's obvious that he is still struggling
Always dtruggle.life is a struggle. Embrace it.down from 110mls of methadone tp 3.8ml jumping next week or so, all just one big fight but itsnt that life.hostile
@@adamwalkeraw it is mate we can only keep our heads up fight a day at a time
The reason we take drugs is often overlooked ?
It's a horrible thing when you can't get the drugs.
@Donnie Darko Haha, read what you said wrong, he didn't come down that amount in a week he's knocking down to 3.5ml in a week lol, doing that in a week is a rapid detox like stapleford or detox 5, they get you clean in 5 days but you'll seriously wish they hadn't, talk about walking dead, id love to see the figures of how many people are clean after a year and its 5 grand as well.
No Matter How He Looks Or What People Say Or Think About Him, Pete Is Such A Sweetheart, With A Beautiful Soul.Take Care Of You, Buddy. 🖤
Now he's been clean for 3 years. Let's hope he can keep it up. Brilliant artist.
Pete I wish you well
You can do it
Your now 40 new life
Be Strong and courageous
You can do it
Do it for yourself
And your Mum
May God bless you
Amazing he survived it all, hope it keeps going strong.
At 5:00 I would just want to give him a hug. You see he is feeling really emotional about that question.
Always loved him always will. I see his heart so clearly. He gets hated and judged beyond but I see his talent and poetry is beauty.

Thank god we didn’t lose Doherty!!!
Not yet unfortunately
I actually subscribe to the umberto-echo view that Pete is an absolute genius and underrated songwriter, regardless of his fame.
Broke my fucking heart when she asked about him losing people as well
I think Pete is a very talented musician as well as nice a nice individual. He just happened to fall into the abyss that is addiction; drugs, alcohol, gambling - all three can be addicting in high frequency but there are ways to get clean.
A lot of addicts to gear resort to methadone treatment programme or buperenorphine although some addicts may chose a natural route (to avoid the second addiction) by using Kratom or Ibogaine. The latter is supposed to ‘reset’ the body / mind to a state where you are not addicted to opiates/opioids and I’m quite sure Ibogaine can treat crack/cocaine addiction (to stop cravings as not a physical addiction is hsd from cocaine). The Ibogaine is from a plant grown in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and is illegal since, I think 2016 due to a lot of side effects, namely a slowed heart beat and possible cardiac arrest chances. I’m aware that there are lots of other, possible side effects but I’ve not remembered much of the information about it so you’d be best off Googling the answer to questions about Ibogaine but if you or someone you know wants to try Ibogaine treatment then remember there are lots of hallucinations, both visual and auditory so will feel pretty strange and you will have a much altered perception: of people you talk to as well as what you see around you. I’m just over a year clean from crack plus off h and OxyContin also.
Say what you want about him but he can write a good song this lad. Loads of tunes and some of my greatest gig memories are from The Libertines / Babyshambles.
What a sheltered life you lived if anything he touched appeared great
Only the pig ignorant could say that about his writing. A great poet, song writer and performer. Possibly the best from that little period of real music. Sad that people can be so narrow minded. Don’t see anything Pete has ever done wrong apart from live his life and make mistakes like we all do.
No matter what condition he is in. This guy is always stylishly dressed, paired with a terrific haircut
Lol his hair is a greasy mess
We love you Pete. You inspired a generation. Peace be with you Brother xxx
I am guessing you speak for yourself. Peace be with you too xxx
Inspired a generation? Don't make me laugh
Didnt inspire anyone u clown hes a smack head middle class traitor
Can't believe Pete just left the guy to die after being thrown from the balcony. Justice for Mark Blanco 🙏
He looks like I imagine a young Paul McCartney would look like if he was cast to play Private Walker in a new Dad's Army remake!🤔
(COMPLIMENT by the way, as I have huge respect for anyone who has courage enough to reinvent themselves, and a young McCartney was a beautiful sight!)
Nice one Pete. Blessings mate. 🏆🇬🇧
I was at Glastonbury a good few years back, and I was trying to get back to my tent, it was one of those wet years, anyway I had been trudging about for what seemed like a long time, and decided I needed a pit-stop, anyway ended up in some type of bar, got myself a little straightener..
I was in there a while when a couple of people sat next to me, I didn't really pay much attention to them at first, they looked like they were in the same mess as me, the girl said something to me, I'm not sure what, I turned to them, and I thought they were familiar, it took me a few seconds to realize it was Mr Pete docherty and Kate moss, we said a few pleasantries and that was that...
Yea something happened to me mate!!
There's something almost like Peter Pan about him
Haha what his youthful look and the way he seems like he's not a complete shambles of a man 🤦♂️
He likes to fly high ? 💉🌿
That Guy HOOKed on drugs
Like Michael Jackson but without the serial child abuse.
@@stavrosgeorgios5577 like MJ with twice the drugs, not half the voice, and yes without the exchange of bodily fluids with the lost boys
Loved The Libertines. Hope he finds peace and happiness
You made it peter ... always knew you would....dont you fall backwards.x your a super 🌟
please stop taking drug and save your life . be happy
Is that 40 in Earth years?
If Christopher Walken nd Johnny Depo had a child.
A troubled, fascinating human.
His brain is fried, but he has a good soul, a good heart. Reading into some of his music you might even argue it's better for him this way.
It's a sad story really.
He's part of musical legacy in this Country, like him or loathe him he's played a part.
Agreed
Yh, he did. He led one of our greater singers down the rabbit hole to her death.
@@jimprins lol Amy Winehouse.
@@jimprins she didn't but the fact is that she was never like that until she started dating him.
Amy sadly didn't need to be led down a rabbit hole by anyone .... she went quite willingly unfortunately, the lifestyle and hanger on's are no respector of great talents, you have only to look at history to know that.
Pete looks so awesome in this, it really came off well, she did a great job
Same interview he spat on a decade ago 😂
@Time Traveller it means he spat on the lady in an interview years ago.
Exactly what they said lol
Time Traveller he literally spat on her mate , simple
@Time Traveller I don't think so love. I didn't write the original comment did I you idiot?
And you knew what I meant, as I knew what they meant. You need to work on your reading and comprehension skills if your brain is that dense that you cannot understand that they simply missed out the letters e and r.
Time Traveller you need to work on your blah blah blah
He is so gross towards women. He apparently was pimping some female fan out to get drugs when he was broke for awhile.
How old is this documentary?
Very sensitive man
Happy birthday Peter
man, life sure goes quickly by, people who epitomized youth are suddenly middle aged man, how did that happen?
"Time is Strange, Life is twice as Strange."
juan altredo yeah fucking weird
Tell me about it, where did all the time go.
Excellent comment
A silent thing called time! I woke up today and I'm fucking old, where does time go!?
Back in the day, I wasn't really a Libertines fan, but ended up at a secret gig Pete did at the Boogalloo in Highgate. Just him with his guitar and his mate with one snare drum, and about 40 people in the audience. They played for over 3hrs, sat on bar stools, and were absolutely brilliant. I realised that night is misjudged him - I'd read the headlines and thought he was just a hyped-up junkie. I was wrong. Very very talented lad - and such effortless charisma. He won my respect. Good luck to him
Dan Williams i was in the same boat. However, his stripped down “intimate” shows didn’t do it for me either. I am pulling for him. I hope he nails a great album
He is poetry from head to toe. It's amazing.
I appreciate your honesty
He's such a talent
Yep best kept at a distance. Pretty vile individual in his full on junkie days. Hope he's concentrating on his art more now.
I felt deep sorrow when he fell silent, then tears filled my eyes, just had some empathy with him at that moment. Hope you can fumigate the demon Peter.
it's really heartbreaking. I watched this video before attendig to Puta Madres' gig (which was the first time for me) and it was sad. I watched it again and I cried because his words aren't just sad, they are "soaked" in sorrow.
@Henry Discipline not every expression of emotion in an interview is contrived
Really? I saw a person who had the world at his feet and made up imaginary demons to create an image that suited a fad trend. I have a feeling he tried pulling an Andy Kaufman on the British 'yoot' scene and it backfired. Now he runs a wanky BnB in a wanky town. Utterly pathetic and zero sympathies for the guy.
@@Soulrollsdeep And You are?
@@thehitpack766 lol a random internet hater
"The addictive mind convinces you you're alright" Fact legit!
Its so true I've a friend who's an alcoholic, I don't know what to do for the best , I've tried to help him , I'm worried about him he always says he's ok but I know he's not he knows that but thats the indenal of an addiction
Kevin Hughes coming off is worse than being on in the short term .... in the long term it’s not but that short term is so horrific that you actually are ok as long as your not in that horrific place ....... it’s like a surfer & you think he’s just sitting on his board but really he’s waiting for everything to line up before he jumps on the right wave ,,,, all you can do is be there for him if he does decide to go on that wave
@stephen stewart Thank you Stephen for the advice I've got to see him soon so this information is so helpful to me 👍
@@mjkrbjcw Thanks mate realy appreciate it . Yeah it's like I've often thought am I doing enough as a mate , you almost start thinking to yourself I should do more feel guilty myself , I've always said to him I'd help in any way but likes been said it's got to come from him . Anyway thanks again 👍
@@dreamsreselling7215 I'm sorry to hear about your friend Kevin but truth is he has to want it for himself but denial is an enormous part of alcoholism but perhaps when he realises that it's costing him more than money then lets hope he seeks help I wish him all the best.
Is it me or does he look like that guy that was queuing for an Oasis Album.....?
I meant that “like” literally literal......
Don’t know if this is a joke or not, but just to be safe. Yes he is.

What's queuing
For all his faults, he's an underrated songwriter with a good heart.
bob don't believe everything you read in the tabloids.
the man with the green cortina really? He was a rock n roll star. I’m sure some of the bands you like done a lot worse. We all done things we regret. Hope the man gets his life on track. Second chance. He’s bright I’m sure he has regrets. Get off your high horse you dickhead
No he's not a good songwriter, not at all,
he writes simple basic lyrics , not a patch on bowie, Prince, Phil lynott etc
Hes a weird fella him mate
Underrated? Is about as two-bob as it gets. Listen to real musicians sometime.
Many years ago I worked with him for a year. Before all of this, he was just starting the Libertines. He was the loveliest person you could meet. You could't dislike him at all. I have always felt deeply sad this happened to him, the sweetest person.
I was in rehab with him in 2005 in priory Southgate we had many a long chat and singing sessions in the smoking room but he really is a great guy with a traumatic past hence the drug problem . Anyone who was to meet him would totally agree what a lovely character he is
@@ianbed1 Awesome!
@Rupert Red 😨would definitely not look at Pete the same way if that is true - never heard that before but anyone who hurts animals like that gets zero respect from me
@@lolly5453 i don' t understand. Whad does he do to Animals ?
@@vamosama there was a comment mentioning abuse of dogs and cats... guess it’s been deleted, not sure how true it was 🤷🏻♀️
When you first see him, his outward appearance is pretty striking. But when you listen to him for a few moments, there’s something so so young and such a youthful energy to him. He has a genuine and pure heart that manifests out. I’m glad he’s doing well.
The world loves to demonize and ridicule addiction, until that person dies. Then it’s “so tragic, how heartbreaking... they were so young, so amazing so talented”. I hope moving forward we become more informed and compassionate. I’m so pleased to see him keep creating and working. Love you Pete.
Well said. You're absolutely spot on.
Well said. The hypocrisy confuses me. It’s a ruthless part of human nature.
I’d wager that same kind of polarisation is exactly what makes life so hard to navigate for gentle/sensitive/empathic souls like Pete Doherty. You’re right, authenticity radiates out of him.
Beautifully said
if press don't have people loving and hating - there's no media.

I hate how some people just see him as a junkie. His music and poetry is seriously underrated. ❤️
he`s my favorite song writer
Every “junkie” has far more to there character than just there addiction. Not saying they are all good there’s good and bad in all walks of life
His song writing reminds me of Syd Barrett’s only more grown up. Both underrated in my opinion.
Nothing remarkable with his music career imho. Never understood the hype around Libertines. Songs are simply not there imho
@@iggypopisgod9 I prefer Babyshambles. I don't understand why the Libertines are so popular.
Always think this is what Jamie Cullum would look like if he took the wrong turn

67 under Par actually I was talking about music but that appears lost on this monotonous diatribe.
Alex Higgins wouldn't have blinked.
@@67underpar61 yet I'll bet he has achieved more in his life than you ever will. Long after his death, he'll be remembered and revered for his music. Something tells me not many will care about some bitter chump on the internet
@@67underpar61 i don't in the slightest, in no way do i condone his drug taking, I'm quite obviously referring to his music which will live long after his death as it's touched many people around the world. I'm sure whoever bought your double glazing windows will remember you fondly when you've passed
Never liked his music but glad to see he has survived addiction long enough to have Grey hair. More power to you mate.
I never liked him much but I like his music
Shame for those that died around him on his journey.
He's moved on from his Biscuit addiction now.
@Samuelson baker?

Still better than u though

Respect bro
Babyshambles shot to fame through the tabloids coverage of his addiction. Over or under rated junkie. The decision is yours.
Well done Neil hope your torch is still burning
Hope you're well ✌
Absolutely Criminally underrated as an artist and a poet. He’s our generations Dylan But it’s probably gonna take for him to pass on until he gets acknowledged as being as important to music and British culture as he is
Absolutely agree....he is a gifted songwriter/poet/artist.....but highly addicted.....

Me too 🥲
The Truth is prison , in the U.K. , helps drugs and crime, change a failed system .
We should really look at Sweden, low crime rate and they don't send criminals to prison for petty crime, they go to correction facilities and not many of them re-offend from the statistics, it's society in the UK that wants to see everyone locked up and then prisons get overcrowded so the solution to the problem is to build more prisons, but unless society's thinking changes there will be no change and so we will go on to continue to fail and waste more money, 36k a year it costs to accommodate a prisoner in the UK, our average wage for workers is less than half of that
Very true , i'm going to send to my MP, is about time youtube was put to work ,
still liked him singing a Marc Bolan song , Elton on the Joanna
Dealers actually break into some prisons. Of course the guards know what's going on. You want a jail full of sober louts or drugged out docile junkies?
They even keep them topped up on diet of prescribed methadone and Benzo's.
Look up breakfast at bronzefield, a short video on here, I read the book, I felt so downhearted after it, like they don't want offenders to be rehabilitated to prevent reoffending, the book Breakfast at Bronzefield was written by a woman who served time there.
@@Gunzee It's not the answer though is it. The goal is not sober louts, it's sober rehabilitated ex criminals who can contribute to society.
Heart wrenching to see him in bits, we are all human and it’s a big positive to see him come out of the other side. Must be a constant battle but the man has more strength than I and most I’m sure. Hope it all works out, quite a gentleman really.
Pete is going thru the worse part now when your body is clear of drugs & you have to deal with your emotions which have been lying dormant while your using, very difficult this is when most people start using again as you cry/laugh for no reason, feelings of guilt tear u apart then u have to learn how to live in the real world all over again i'm nearly 60yrs old I used for over 30 yrs I'm just getting my life together now it's really hard, I've done lots of detox's but I done it cold turkey this time felt like I was dying, some days I wished I would die, just wish I'd stayed clean yrs ago when I was younger as it's so much harder the older you get if only we could turn back time , good luck pete take it from an old timer it's not worth it to go backwards again.
So sad to see him like that. Broken in tears. I wish he could get to the place he needs to be healthy & happy. I know it's hard to get into new healthy habits when you have unhealthy psychological crutches. Whether it's drugs or just other unhealthy ways of living to just get us through the day. If only it was easier to cure psychological damage.
Josy Posy this is the first real thing I’ve seen from Pete, besides his music...
He really does put a face on it, but I’ve noticed he’s letting up, it’s good, I think he’s healing!
@@willbaldwin3605 let's hope so 😊
Josy Posy
Self inflicted
He has major mental issues and no doubt should've been medicated before he started on the drugs. I remember seeing an interview of him and he was crying and said he had un unhappy home life and his father treated him terribly. I don't think he ever got the love a person needs to have a healthy life.
That interview ended exactly when it should have continued
Why do people want rockstars to act like chartered accountants.
He gives off Sid Vicious vibes in a way but but much more poetic & he made it where we all know Sid didn't.
Dresses more stylish too,plus I think Doherty is smarter ???( but I don't really know really)
He’s got a good heart
Seems a lovely guy and I can relate to addiction. I hope he battles his demons - he looks like he has it in him to do so
Most People will only realise that this guy is a genius when the world no longer hosts him anymore ... A real genuine artist
As it usually happens, my friend
@@monoburgos9913 life doesn't have to be so negative, one of the things that makes this crazy world so interesting is how different we all are. For the record, Working class, Never done heroin (yet) and own a range of cds from classical to hip hop. But I get it, he's never going to be to everyones taste ... ✌🏻
artistic at being a fanny who is more famous for being a druggy, jailbird. only muppets look up to clowns like this.
Preach
Yes, he is a genius no denying that
My heart broke for him when he got upset 💔
I absolutely love his work, it's beautiful
If you're a middle-class tarquin who can afford to indulge the childish bullshit that comes with first world problems
Is it? Beautiful? It over rate nonsense. Listen to more music. As a man hes an evil selfish scum bag
Oh Pete, thank you for the amazing music that was such a big part of my teenage years. I really hope you'll beat addiction. Don't give up, man, never give up. God bless you mate
I heard he’s been clean for a bit now
I love him, he's such a character. I had to laugh out loud when I saw that dog on the pool table.
So it seems Worzel Gummidge Scissorhands is his final form.
hahaha
Cup of tea and a slice of cake...your a genius mate!!!
Spooky hollow
Ha ha ha. Fantastic. 😂😂😂
Good half hour chuckle top draw comment
Poor old boy , so much talent , I can’t help but like him, he’s good stuff as far as I’m concerned
"To your soul, to your soul"
He tears for himself and his relationship with his mother.
A broken heart that no one can heal but her or a loving spouse.
Either the luckiest man alive or the best method actor in history.. either way you could never teach someone how to be so magnetic and fascinating if they lived 300 years.. I’ve always thought he was beamed down from somewhere else. X
Never judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
If they've got veruccas, I think I'll just carry on judging them.
... because then, if you decide you don't like the person, you're a mile away... and... you've got a new pair of shoes.
Sad, such a brilliant but lost soul
"theres a mad soldier inside me who never crys and gets upset" said whilst he gets upset and crys
Lol I thought that
Inside and outside are different. Hes crying outside but inside hes soldiering on. Expand your narrow mind
Samuelson baker Why are you saying that? What did Pete do wrong?
That's what heroin does.
Samuelson baker 👨🍳
I feel like he's incapable of being a dishonest person....hes not a perfect human being and he doesn't pretend to be...it's refreshing and wholesome..love this dude
I’d love it if one day people asked him about something other than drugs.
there's not much else there, average singer songwriter when you take it all away
@@RJH1971 I feel impressive and sad at the same time, his life is full of drug and rehab..
He is / was just a filthy drug riddled scumbag
He sounds ripped out of his head.
Who ever thought he would live to 40? Remember seeing the Johnathan Ross interview thinking he’s gonna be gone within 2 years. That was back in 2007.
He knew he was destined to die young and join the 27 Club but he decided to change the narrative written for him. Good on him.
I am really sorry drugs and alcohol destroyed his life but he is talented artist and i hope he will stay clean and he will develop his potential as musician. good luck Pete !
christ that broke my heart watching him just break. best wishes to all affected and effected by addiction
This must be C4’s 1millionth interview, point being they know exactly what they’re doing. I’m confident that this gloomy, suppressed and almost sinister lighting is absolutely intentional in an attempt to push their own view on this troubled character. It’s manipulative and sad :(
Drugs are bad mkay
I cant tell if you're being ironic or not but some drugs like magic mushrooms can be a very useful tool.
I recognise genius when I see it. Even if I have to look at it through a mist of demons and addiction.
He is super talented just like Amy Winehouse was the best music is written when the person is high
The sad thing in this world is that all the comments want to discuss the state he is in/ or has been in/ or his skin YET no one wants to comment on the beauty of the song he sings at the beginning that is riddled with Poetry. Sums up the current state of the world to be fair. "For poetry could solve all of worlds problems, the problem is that no f****er likes poetry"
I remember someone describing his dress sense as 'heroin chic'. Lol.
LOL!
Kate Moss was the original heroin chic
hows urmum? That was a common term in the 90s to describe super skinny fashion models like Kate Moss.
Such is the vapid business we call fashion
Brilliant! Personally, I used to be a follower and admirer of the “Alcoholic Attire”. Thankfully I have moved on.
He seems mentally unwell..like someone drunk on the edge of a building,looking down at people far below holding a sheet.
He's got something peculiar about him - could be a charisma.
It's not too late Peter. Change your life around and don't look back, find all the ways you can to get clean.
When's it actually going to open? Oh I don't know 😂 love him
If people can’t see what a nice guy he is ... poetic, emotional, human. Everyone has flaws x He also kissed me on my 40th at York Barbican x many happy returns Peter x
Ahhhhh same secret Gig in Melbourne he came off stage and kissed me then Carl Barratt second time ! They were a big part of my life in a hectic time the kisses sealed the end of a era and out the other side was such a blessing ♡' Peter for ever if you don't mind don't mind'
He looks like hes still struggling (he was wriggling and twisting in his chair the whole interview) and looks sad and lost. I've had my own struggles with way too many drugs over the last 25+ years total, 18+ years of them with heroin. No one can understand or even get close to understanding what it's like unless you are also an addict (be that drugs, alcohol, gambling etc) I'm normally a fairly rational person, but when it comes down to drugs I'll do the craziest, stupidest things going. Theres no control, and you just cant trust yourself. Its horrendous!!! I live in a small Essex town, and over the last 18 or so years I've seen so many people die (probably 15+ people, mainly young) but it makes no difference to you and your habits.
