I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE TO HEROIN! Anyone who has a different rating clearly hasn't had an " actual " problem when they were young.
I had tears in my eyes from the beginning of this movie. When it was over the flashes from my past were going through my head. My first thought " I have to have my mother watch this with me, she cannot see this without me there"! Now, it was not always that way, see I became clean from using literally EVERY I could get my hands on and our relationship suffered tremendously. My only true love from the first time ( I didn't know what it was) HEROIN. It was everything! My love, soul, heartbreak, emotional blanket, my lover, my kiss, my pain, I mean it was EVERYTHING! This story isn't about her getting clean in my eyes, it's about all the pain that happens when you are the parent or the child and have seen this first hand or been there. I got sober at 18...almost 19. My mother and I today are so amazing but I still sometimes look at her and have to stop myself from tearing up. I put her into actual living hell. I'm 40 years old now. I haven't touched heroin once since the day I woke up and decided that was it. This movie moved me in so many ways.....the end.
