The last time I thought about taking heroin was yesterday. I had received “an inconvenient truth” from a beautiful woman. It wasn’t about climate change – I’m not that ecologically switched on, she told me she was pregnant and it wasn’t mine.

If you or anybody you know is or has been addicted to drugs or alcohol, I would strongly suggest reading this. Actually, even if that isn't the case, you should read this anyway if only because of how well-written and poignant it is. I have a lot more respect for Russell Brand after having read this short essay of his on addiction.
