    The way he described his first time doing heroin was spot on. That "whoa....this is what I was looking for." It's the beginning of many good and utterly horrible "whoa's" to come.

      Goes to show that we are all looking for a community, belonging, despite or because of our environment. We, in general I think, have this need. We express it and realize it differently or the same depending upon the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
