Rossco, I would imagine most people are shocked that a Junkie can be an articulate and inteligent person capable of expression emotions.
Thats a massive kick in the bollocks of most people's sterotypical views, so im not surprised you havent been given the standard issue anti-junkie responses as you will have failed so massively to live up to the stereotype itself.
Plus I think most people respect courage and determination in this country, they are 2 traits I would define as quintessentially the best of british, James May would be proud of you for this thread
