The Face of Addiction
PRINCE GEORGE – “I chose to inject my drugs. And, with heroin, you could be feeling really uptight and stressed and, the minute you inject it, you fee a sense of warmth and calmness. You feel it from the tops of your toes to the ends of your fingers. You feel it working through your body.”
That’s how Daniel Roy describes the feeling one of his drugs of choice, heroin, made him feel. But his addiction pushed him to the edge. At one point in his life, he was standing on the John Hart Bridge, ready to end it all. Until a police officer talked him down.
He’s been clean for years and takes an active role in helping those who are down and out in Prince George.
