About Black Tar: For The Love Of Heroin

Black Tar is an autobiographical look at the use of heroin and the toll it takes on the addict and his surroundings. It is written from an addict's perspective, drawing upon a journal kept by an active junkie and then turned into the book now before you. It's supposed to read rough, because it details the day to day existence of my junkie life as I live from fix to fix and watch as my life spiral out of control.  You can feel that in the way I write this book. From alcohol, pills, and cocaine to heroin. It's not supposed to be perfect. My attempts to free myself and live a sober life were always half-hearted because truthfully I loved heroin. However, my mounting drug use destroyed my life, my job and any hope I had of enjoying a family. As the years pass heroin addiction forced me to live hand to mouth, in my car, always one step away from living on the streets as an addicted vagrant. In this smack tinted world, the extremes are overdose and withdrawal and I suffer through my share of both. In the end, I find myself dangling between the fix that will kill him and the sober life he so desperately needs. Please understand. There's no editor or proofreader. What you get is the raw addiction to a drug that mastered me and spits me out for dead. I'm amazed I have the where-with-all to tell my story as it happened and let the chips fall where they may. So stop worrying about misused words or missing punctuation. That's just part of the remains of my brain telling a story that I hope will be a cautionary tale for the thousands that have or will read it,
