About the book >.>.> Having read Hannah’s story I imagine you the reader can well understand how her drug misuse caused her family to make negative judgements about her behaviour but you will also have some very clear ideas about why she turned to drugs and how they helped her to survive a life that many people might want to end prematurely as indeed she did. Her story shows in graphic detail how her sense of self and identity were affected by the negative attitudes and abusive behaviour of the very people she needed to protect her from harm and to encourage her development as a self-confident human being. Alongside that her story also shows the pathways she followed towards transforming her identity from ‘druggie’ to ‘non-drug user’. The richness and complexity of her story and the other stories in this book thereby create a new basis for understanding how people are drawn into misusing drugs what life is like for a person once they are addicted and what helps them to leave that lifestyle behind and to find ways to construct new and preferred identities that will enable them to pursue a more ful- filling life.
