The books are coming in!! Exciting to know you readers are getting my book. I am going to raffle off some copies so stay tuned. I will get a story out to you this week. 
Xoxo Tracey

    Like many of your followers, you've been an inspiration to me. I have followed you since the movie, I've just not spoken up. You are the reason I even started this account, just so I could make contact on the off chance that one day opiates didn't have me purely satisfied with staring at the wall. Well that day has come and you played a very large part in it. Not everyone's life you save responds or even can respond, Tracey! Remember this when you post, someone is always out there reading in silence, stuck in the limbo of their life vs. opiates.

    That being said, the main reason I wanted to contact you was to encourage a book or something more in depth than the blog. I was so excited to see that day come. I was even more exited when the title changed, and I was in for one more treat when I saw the final cover! BEAUTIFUL, Tracey! I've had mine pre-ordered since?? I cannot even remember. I cannot wait, you are the only writer I see outdoing Tom Hansen on the subject with his memoire "American Junkie." A must,, if you haven't read, but I digress. It was so great seeing this go from concept to design to final product, without ever saying a word you followed the advice I wanted so badly to give and the end result is beautiful! I just cannot wait and express how impactful you've been fr me, Tracey! My blog/youtube channel/G+ will be up and running soon. Hope you have a look. I would like permission to link to your blog and reference you for certain tidbits in the future. It's called "The Fountain" a nickname that has stuck since college - "The Fountain of Useless Knowledge" hehe. It will be at www.thefountainofuselessknowledge.bogspot.com and my current facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/the.todd.rollins I look forward to tracking your continued success! All of our suffering will pay off!

Black Tar Heroin 10 questions answered

I want to get this in one place. Here you go When was the film made? The film was made from Dec 1995 to Dec 1997. Originally the film was supposed to be for one year but I believe when HBO picked up the film they wanted two years. How were you picked for the film? Steven met a bunch of different people at the youth needle exchange. He wanted subjects that were slightly younger than me. He filmed a few other people  that never made it into the final film Were you paid for the film? No. I was not paid for the film. he bought me a hotel to stay in for a week and bought me lunch a few times. I think they left some money for me when I was in jail too. Documentary film makers, in general, don't pay their subjects. Was I friends with the other people from the film ? Sort of. I never knew Alice. I met Oreo when he was 15 or 16. He was VERY young when the film was made. His mom used to work the desk in one of the hotels I lived in. Jake and I used to hang out. At one point he had

Ben (revised)

Ben was heroin addled fantasy from a time when I would rather be with someone that barely loved me than be alone. I had just been released from jail after six long months. I had been using in the jail up until the last 45 days. This is did not give me much time to construct any type of recovery. I had spent most my time of planning for things that would never happen. My first week in jail was spent recovering from surgery. When I was arrested, I had four large abcesses. An abcess is a place where bacteria gets under the skin and the flesh starts to rot. I had to have surgery on my arm. When I took of the bandage, I cried. Not because I was in the hospital, not because I was in jail. I cried because they had sliced open my tattoo! The horror of it all. I used to take a sterile needle and cut them open myself. Needless to say, my nickname was the abcess queen. When I was back on the streets, I felt hopeless. I gave up my homeless encampment living for a hotel with some financial

Jamie

   Being able to fall apart is a luxury many people don’t have. They carry their burdens until it breaks them.  Miss Jamie was one of the most aesthetically pleasing  women I had ever seen in my life. She simply glowed. When she entered a room, everyone had to stop to pay attention. She took that space over. Her smile was radiant. Her energy was infectious. She was a fireball of a human. Her petite frame was always draped with carefully selected skirts, dresses, and form fitting sweaters. She paired this with her signature plum lipstick and acrylics.  She always came late in the day, usually when I had the lowest energy. Yet, I never refused her entrance. I was happy to see her. Happy to listen to her while she held court in my desk area.      On this day, Jamie was wheeled into the clinic by a person I had never seen before. Instead of scrubs, he looked as if he had woken up on the streets. He looked left like a caretaker, more like a person in need of our services. Our patients i
