You can bet if you work in a company of 100 or more staff. You’ll work with an addict... maybe even a junkie like me. Whether it’s OTC codeine or IV heroin (probably done during a break at work), we have the ability to have addictions and be functional.

Bar major fuck ups, we tend to work hard. We’re good employees. We need our payslips to fund our habits. We do not want to lose our jobs. 

You may notice certain behaviours, and fall for our excuses. Sweats - cold or flue, exhaustion - insomnia, vomiting - 24 hour bug, most likely we’re skinny to small. Size 4 to size 10. We’ll eat a lot at work (as when we’re at home we’re using and not eating), but we have ‘fast metabolisms’. Our energy levels can dramatically change. This is when we’ve used. But we’re working hard now, so you say nothing. We take lunch at 10.30am To go to the bank as it’s too busy at lunch time. After that we frequently go for a smoke or to the toilet. We may get anxious and edgy when we’re running out.

But our positive aspects outweigh the quirks.

So don’t judge me. You don’t judge those you know, you just aren’t aware about. I was smoking crack and heroin all day every day whilst employed.

- I’m a junkie
