Such a haunting experience, the suffocating feeling, the desperation, a crushing weight that brought tears to my eyes.
I would have never thought of this metaphor and will keep it in mind for when I have to explain addiction to someone.
The moment your friend says that you are the only one in the photo really shows the true nature of drugs, all the comfort they provide, the “happiness”, is an illusion only you can see.
Really a splendid game.
