It was, of course, the full tabloid treatment with big headlines, loads of pictures and as scandalising as they could make it.
The headline spread across the first two pages read: "I could spend over 13 hours desperately trying to get the heroin into me. I sadistically found this ritual pleasurable."
The headline for pages three and four was: "My mum tore my cardigan off and swore at me... take a look at your f**king arms Rachael. Look at them."
Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me from adam, but I was reading about your story, and I was wondering how your arms are now>? I think I saw something or heard you on a radio show talking about how you didn't want the doctors to go near your arms?
Anyhows, I also wanted to congratulate you. As someone who unfortunately has somebody right in the middle of the mess that drugs make, you're an inspiration and a cause for hope when somedays it feels like there is none.
My very best wishes to you and yours,
Cecilia.
