Recovery from Drug Addiction Interview

Timothy Sikuku

Welcome to this interview, I’m joined a former drug addict who is about to tell us of his experience through drugs and even after he recovered from drug addiction. I hope that this will be of help to you.

Interviewer: Hello, how are you?

Richard: I’m fine. Thank you

Interviewer: would you kindly tell me your our name and which part of the country you come from?

Richard: My name is Richard, I’m from Githurai in Kiambu county.

Interviewer: kindly tell us about you and drugs?

Richard: I was a drug addict for ten years before I become n arm robber due to drug connections which led being jailed where i was taken through rehabilitation to overcome my addiction tendencies.

Interviewer: How was the experience with drugs before you got jailed.

Richard: It was really tough. I was a nuisance to my family members. It affected my education, career and most importantly my health. I lost almost everything I had and that is why at that particular time robbery was the only option.

I developed fatal diseases like cirrhosis that made me loose hope for life, i just wanted to die.

Interviewer: which types of drugs were you addicted to specifically?

Richard: I was very adventurous, I took almost everything. But mostly alcohol and cigarette smoking was on the top of the list.

Interviewer: How was the rehabilitation experience for you?

Richard: It was tough, especially considering the fact I had given myself to death,  I hated everyone that proved to be of help to me. It was not to quit the drugs but at least it helped.

Interviewer: Five years later free from real and perpetual imprisonment, how does feel?

Richard: I’m really grateful to God, for one I have my family back, my friends and moat importantly myself. At least i can work towards my visions. As of now I can make rational decisions.

Interviewer: What do you have to tell the guys out there who are leaving life in addiction?

Richard: It is high time you notice the silent death that is slowly catching up with you. You mean much more ti the world to let it miss out on your potential by chocking it is these chemicals. You deserve a better life than you have right now and I’d suggest you look for help as soon as possible

Interviewer: Thank you for joining us for this interview. God bless

Richard: any time and amen!
