Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Heroin Story is a memoir by David Poses, about his decades-long addiction to heroin and other opioids. Unlike most stories about junkiedom, there's no hitting of rock bottom or descent into depravity. Even after years of using David manages to remain employed, functional, and in control of his drug use. The book is also quite critical of the 12-Step Programs. It offers a rarely-heard (if surprisingly crucial) perspective on heroin addiction.You can read it on his website [1].

Former Teen Rebel: David (a former Club Kid) pretends to be this for most of the book. He acts as if his drug-using, party-throwing days are over... all while secretly continuing to use heroin.

Club Kid: Many of the flamboyant part-throwers David befriended in his youth count. Micheal Alig, the real-life king of the New York City club kids scene, is an especially notable example.

Ambiguous Disorder: Micheal Alig, the Lego-obsessed king of the Club Kids, is pretty quirky.

Drugs Are Good: Heroin itself isn't portrayed as evil or good. It genuinely helps the depressed David.
