This book is an autobiographical textbook, where I focus on how the poor inner city child developed some of the skills to survive and feel comfortable in a poverty household, where the father is an alcoholic. I address the thinking related to how the child accepts juvenile delinquency, and continues the behavior in spite of repeated arrests. I focus on how someone is introduced to drugs, and some of the thinking that allows one to accept the usage of an intoxicant. I address the progression toward chemical dependency after the first euphoric experience. I go deep into how the full blown heroin addicted person thinks, the dangerous life he lives from a reality perspective, then I focus on how to overcome drug addiction “This is the Escape”
