The Fix: Unpacking Addiction and Recovery with Raw Honesty
I would say there was more trauma with the alcohol than there was the angel dust, because with the angel dust it's not so much violence, more than it is incoherent sort of disassociated, sort of numb, whereas with the alcoholism and the drinking there was violence and screaming and, you know, police and destruction of property and things like that.
