Drug addiction is a tragedy. But we could stop so many people dying07:36, August 07 25 0 I was a drug worker in a London prison when I met Stuart, a guitar-playing Scot with a kind smile and a firm conviction that his life was over. When I met him he was dependent on heroin. His family had disowned him and he was in prison. He was scared, exhausted, and desperate. Over the next few months, with support, he started to make progress. We formed a strong bond. He got in touch with his mum, and opened up to me about the things he was running away from. I offered a listening ear, a roadmap, and no judgment. I was only three years into a career as a drug worker but I was already unshockable. I showed him I was on his side and he started to work to get better. He was three months clear of drugs and alcohol when he was released from prison. I was really hopeful for him.
