0:00:02 > 0:00:07This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26When did you first take Valium?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30When I was about 13 years old.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35People continue to mix drugs and take substances like diazepam.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They're dying.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40HE COUGHS
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Do you want me to pop you down? I've got you, I've got you.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Watch yourself.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The last time I seen him, he was like a skeleton with a skin graft.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Diazepam's always been around and it's always been consistent.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Scotland's little helper. - Yes, Scotland's little helper, yeah.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Whilst alcohol, ecstasy and heroin have historically been at the centre
0:01:05 > 0:01:09of Scotland's drug scene, Valium has been a silent partner,
0:01:09 > 0:01:10hard at work in the background,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13with many users craving a tranquilised existence.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It's 10.15am and Jamie is calling his dealer.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Hi, mate, cool. Eh, what, a score, mate, a score.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Nae worries mate, that sounds ideal. Cheers mate, sweet.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's like your... it's your favourite kind of sweetie.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32It tastes like that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34He has a Valium addiction
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and, like thousands of other people in Scotland,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39he doesn't get the pills from his doctor.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41He buys them from a local dealer.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Do you want to show us what you got then?- Aye.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46So, how many's in there?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- It's ten, ten in each strip.- Yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51But you bought 20?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Aye, aye, that's why, when I said a score, that means 20.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- How much does 20 cost?- £20.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Aye, that's breakfast.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- All right?- Yes, go.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Excuse me.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Would you consider yourself to be dependent on Valium?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11At the moment, aye, yeah.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16It fills that emptiness and it feels like it's your own shield.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20You're wrapped in bubble wrap and things don't really matter as much.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23But then again, the problem's still there in the morning,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25if you're willing to just not address it.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31But they certainly do help and calm the stresses of life.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Scotland has a big problem with Valium, otherwise known as diazepam.
0:02:40 > 0:02:4476% of drug-related deaths involve the pills, or drugs similar to them,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47compared to figures in England and Wales of just 11%.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Right.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13In Dundee, there has been a recent spate of overdoses
0:03:13 > 0:03:15involving the once widely prescribed drug.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19It wasn't long before I met Billy, who explained to me
0:03:19 > 0:03:22the wide range of pills available on the street.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Right, so that's MTZ, so what are these pills like?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42How much are these each?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46So that's 50p per pill?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Is the going rate, basically.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Aye.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07It was clear from talking to Billy
0:04:07 > 0:04:11that not all the blue pills on the street contain genuine Valium.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Many of them were fake.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I met Kenny Simpson at Police Scotland
0:04:15 > 0:04:19who has made tackling the Valium issue a priority.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21He showed me a range of fake Valium tablets
0:04:21 > 0:04:24recovered from raids on DIY drug factories.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27This is just a sample of a large seizure of tablets
0:04:27 > 0:04:29that have been illicitly produced.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34We've had seizures of a million tablets in one operation,
0:04:34 > 0:04:39so that reflects the scale of what's actually out there.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41The main issues are twofold.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43The illicit production of the tablets,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47which brings with it the concerns that it's not pharmacists.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53And then the serious and organised crime involvement in diverting
0:04:53 > 0:04:57blister pack tablets from lawful production.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Probably one of the most understated drugs
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and has been for a long number of years.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06The users can be quite ambivalent about what the outcome is
0:05:06 > 0:05:08in terms of their health.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10But if people continue to mix drugs
0:05:10 > 0:05:16and take substances like diazepam, or the equivalent, they're dying.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Many of these blue pills contain Valium-like drugs far stronger,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27and potentially more dangerous, than whatever users think they're buying.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Back in Dundee, I met a user named Levi and his friend AJ.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34They'd known each other since Levi was young.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36The whole time he'd been addicted to Valium.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Levi was heading home to take some blue pills he'd recently bought.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Did you put them in the kinder egg?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Aye, aye.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54The pills Levi was taking looked very similar to the fake tablets
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'd seen at the police station.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59They had NTZ stamped on them and were sold loose.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08When you moved to Dundee,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11did you find that Valium was very easily available?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Wow.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01When did you first take Valium?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09How old are you now?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Would you usually take 30, 40 Valium as well as smoking legal highs
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- and taking methadone?- Yes.- OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's not unusual.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Like many users, Levi was taking Valium
0:07:24 > 0:07:26with a combination of other drugs.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28This can be particularly dangerous,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and the effects were really starting to show.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37HE SLURPS
0:07:41 > 0:07:44You're jerking a bit, mate. Do you want me to help you pick that up?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Pop it on the floor. Pop it on the floor.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Um...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59HE LAUGHS
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Sorry, mate, just really surprised me then, came out of nowhere.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well, you could say that. THEY LAUGH
0:08:09 > 0:08:12HE MUMBLES
0:08:12 > 0:08:14As we continued to chat, there were moments
0:08:14 > 0:08:16when it became difficult to understand Levi.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19HE SLURS
0:08:23 > 0:08:26He'd have moments of clarity and then drop off.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I thought you fell asleep then.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45HE COUGHS LABORIOUSLY
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Do you want to pop you down? I've got you, I've got you.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Watch yourself.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Watch yourself.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14How are you feeling?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'll just put this out so it doesn't burn the carpet.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- You've got a Bible over there. - Yeah, yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- You're Christian?- Mm.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51LEVI MUMBLES
0:10:10 > 0:10:13That kind of smells like it might be burning.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15LEVI MUMBLES
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I'll tell you what, it's amazing.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Mm-hm.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Would you like to stop taking Valium?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04THEY LAUGH
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Levi was shutting himself off from the world
0:11:12 > 0:11:15to avoid getting into trouble whilst high on Valium -
0:11:15 > 0:11:18the very drug he used to deal with loneliness and isolation.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Valium has been widely prescribed for anxiety and depression
0:11:22 > 0:11:24since the '60s.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27However, in the late '80s, doctors started to scale this back
0:11:27 > 0:11:30because so many patients developed addictions.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Gareth Balmer has worked to help drug users
0:11:32 > 0:11:35for ten years at the charity Addaction.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40He explained to me why Scotland has such a big problem with Valium.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Like lots of things it was seen as a bit of a panacea.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I mean this is not a Scottish thing, this is a worldwide thing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48And they work.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51And so they were prescribed, but nobody really saw the problems.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Because when they were first sold, not addictive.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55I think you can find adverts, you know,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58there's this new great drug, it's not addictive,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01it's not like the barbiturates or some of these other drugs
0:12:01 > 0:12:03that are dangerous, it's going to be great.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06They were wrong, it was dependence-producing or addictive.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10And interestingly has a really quite severe withdrawal.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12How many pills, what kind of doses are people taking
0:12:12 > 0:12:15that you're seeing coming into the service?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It's not abnormal for somebody to be taking 30, 40 a day.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22If you take a drug every day, you build tolerance to that drug.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Like a lot of medicines, the longer you take something,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26the less effective it tends to become.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You tend to see more of the negative side effects
0:12:28 > 0:12:31and less of the positive effects of the drugs
0:12:31 > 0:12:33over a long period of time. And a lot of people using drugs,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36they're always chasing that feeling that they'll never get back.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Why is there such a high use of Valium in Scotland?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43We are famous for caring about our money in Scotland, so, you know,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46£10 rock of crack, smoke it,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50you'll be stimulated for 10, 15 minutes. It'll feel good.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53For the same price, I could have 100mg of diazepam
0:12:53 > 0:12:57where you can escape from your reality for the next couple of days.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Diazepam's always been around, and it's always been consistent.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Scotland's little helper. - Yes, Scotland's little helper, yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Do you think the rise of drug-related deaths in Scotland
0:13:07 > 0:13:10is connected to the extensive use of Valium on the street?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I would say, on its own, no, it's not.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Unfortunately, when people are dying from drug death,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19overdose in Scotland, it's poly-drug use.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's Valium plus alcohol, it's Valium plus heroin,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24it's Valium plus methadone.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28So, when it's used in combination with those drugs,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31yes, it is dangerous and it is implicated in those deaths,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33from our perspective.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Normally what's happened to people is they're becoming so relaxed
0:13:36 > 0:13:39that their brain just stops telling them to breathe any more.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Gareth put me in touch with Jo Roden, whose son, John,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49had died after taking the tablets, aged 32.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Like Levi, and many other users,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55John had mixed Valium with methadone.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Jo took me to the flat where John's body had been found three years ago.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07This is wee John's house in the first tenement there on the top.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Have you been down here since?- No.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- You've not been down since?- No.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Do you find yourself kind of craning round when you pass in the car?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I didn't look.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20If it's a coping mechanism or what, I don't know.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Nice place he lived in, nothing the matter with it,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26it's just where he died.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's only a house. He's no there.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I didn't really want to look at it, but that's it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Cos it's the same blinds.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Does that haunt you, that? - Yes, cos I broke them.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Cos when I'd went in, the police had the blinds down,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43like the way they are now.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45And I tried to pull them up and the string came away
0:14:45 > 0:14:48and I grabbed at them and I broke them. So...
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Know what I mean, that's where he died sitting on his sofa.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's hard to believe.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59You know. It is.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Jo, mate, come here.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02THEY CHUCKLE
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Are there a lot of people in the wider community
0:15:10 > 0:15:12who've lost people to Valium as well?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yes, definitely yes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16At least one a month.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22How many people do you personally know who've lost people to...
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Personally?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26..to Valium overdoses?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Five.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Five personally? And that's all in the last few years?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yes. Last year.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- In the last year?- Yeah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Jo's close friend Caroline lost her brother Shaun to an overdose
0:15:45 > 0:15:47involving Valium four years ago.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Everything like, my wee brother,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52it was just like a hit in the face for me.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56He was the baby, I never expected it from him.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59You seen him and you seen that he was getting worse and worse.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03And the last time I seen him he was like a skeleton with a skin graft.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Mmm.- It was like you could see his bones right through his skin.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08It was horrible.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Do you ever really think about maybe why your brother took drugs?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I can't understand how he started.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I think at first they think they can control their drug intake,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24but they can't, the drugs take over, don't they?
0:16:24 > 0:16:29And that's hard, that's hard for us to live with.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You're angry at people that are making them,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34you're angry at people that are sending them, you just get angry.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And then it's all sadness.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You're angry at them for taking them...
0:16:39 > 0:16:41but they took them for a reason
0:16:41 > 0:16:45and I think it's to escape from your reality.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I mean, it didn't matter what I said to him.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Didn't matter what anybody said to him, know what I mean?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54And...then...
0:16:58 > 0:16:59..you've just got to...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04..um...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09It's just a downward spiral, isn't it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:16Rather than an upward struggle, it's a downward spiral, isn't it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Mm.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Earlier on, I promised Levi I would pop back to see him.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46However, when I got to his flat, he seemed pretty out of it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50I met with Levi's friend AJ, who'd previously been his drug worker.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52She decided to visit him
0:17:52 > 0:17:55when she'd heard about the cocktail of drugs that he'd been taking.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Levi, it's AJ!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07It's AJ, man. Get a grip of yourself, kid.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Check your eyes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Yeah, you have.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14You've took two strips, haven't you?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19See, see what I mean? Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, Levi.
0:18:23 > 0:18:2420 what?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27What do you want?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Do you know where you should be? Where I am.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You can't cope on your own, Levi.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The way you are now.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41LEVI MUMBLES
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You know what I'm going to say to you, don't you, Levi?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Yes.- The doctor. - Get the fucker cleaned up now.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Get you fucking cleaned up and get your head sorted.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Get your finger out your arse, mate.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Don't do what everybody else is doing around you
0:18:59 > 0:19:01and do what you want to do.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I have never ever seen your flat like this before.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I've seen you in this state. Worse than this.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11But I've never seen your flat like this, please, I... You know,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14if that lad didn't come for me tonight and I didn't see you,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16d'you know what would happen?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- No. - I'd be looking for you in Dundee.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21For you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24That's me.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Worried about you, but again...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28you cannot kid a kidder.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Been there and done it myself.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- No, man.- Exactly.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I know someone who works...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37LEVI MUMBLES
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Please don't smoke that in front of me.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45That legal high. Please, I don't take it myself, so...
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Thank you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Whoa, Levi man!
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Ha'way, son.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Ha'way.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Put your head together, kidda.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Give your head a shake.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Levi, man.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Pull yourself together, kidda.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10He's had a bereavement.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14He had two when I was working with him
0:20:14 > 0:20:16and obviously he's had another one
0:20:16 > 0:20:19since I haven't been working with him.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24So that's three in the last four year.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29You know, so that is quite a thing on his head, playing.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And he hasn't grieved over it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33He hasn't.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I don't like seeing you like this, you know.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I'd like to boot you up the arse and get you into gear.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Sorry...sorry for swearing.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Don't be daft.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49But that's how I feel like doing.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50I do, but I can't.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So I know you're going to be all right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02No, just to know that I know that you're going to be all right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11How many have you bought today?
0:21:19 > 0:21:20In a bag?
0:21:28 > 0:21:29So you've took 30 today.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Yeah?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40You've took 20 today, darling. Are you going to be all right?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Yes, honestly.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I do worry about you, darling.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I do. I do worry about you, I do.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51I'm all right, I'm spot on.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- I need to know... What you up to now?- He won't know.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00He's just picking all his legal high wrappers up.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I can't believe you. You little shithead.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Hang them up now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Rosary beads, hang them up.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16You against Lord?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I need...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32What's your smoke alarm doing on the floor?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Is he going to be all right to leave, are you happy to leave him?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Yes, I'm happy to leave him cos he's...- Sound as a pound.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43He's sound as a pound, he knows, he's talking to me.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46You know, he's opened his eyes like he is now.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49There with a smile on the face, you know.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I know he's happy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Right, I'm going anyway, big boy.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I love you and leave you, you know. I do.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'm leaving my spirit in this room to look after you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Where's the bin chute?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Right outside your door?- Yeah.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It wants to be, you know. I'm not going up all those stairs.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19THEY LAUGH
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Coming to Dundee, I had half expected to find people
0:23:23 > 0:23:25high on Valium having a good time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27But the reality was very different.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Valium is a lonely drug,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32offering only a temporary escape from life's problems.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38You need to sort out deprivation. Unfortunately in Scotland,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41we have some real poverty-stricken communities.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45So I can sit with somebody and we can really engage with somebody,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47but unfortunately they've got to go home.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I went to meet Levi the next day to see how he was doing.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05How many Valium tablets did you take yesterday?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Probably about 100 eventually.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- So that... Is that a normal amount for you to take in a day?- Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Look, I was on 230 tablets a day
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and I was still walking around like it was no tomorrow.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Walking around like it was no tomorrow?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Like there was no tomorrow.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28It could knock a horse out, man.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32But Levi just wanders along like there's nowt the matter.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34No problem.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Do you worry about your health?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38No.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Why? Why bother about health?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42It's all you've got.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We all die some point.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I know, but it's all you've got until that happens.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50When that happens, it happens.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55I'm not saying I want to die early, by any chance,
0:24:55 > 0:24:56I want a nice long life.
0:24:57 > 0:25:04But, please believe, I've had some funny old life me, yeah.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07If I went tomorrow, it doesn't matter.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10What, I mean, do you want to come off Valium?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- You want to stop taking Valium. - Yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Do you consider yourself to be addicted?- Yes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22Everyone has choices in their life to do right or wrong.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It's up to them to make that choice.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Time to start looking for a job and stuff.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Start, um...becoming back into society
0:25:35 > 0:25:38and, um, working hard.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Like I used to.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Used to do voluntary work and everything
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and I'm just going through a blip at the minute.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49What would you say to people about Valium
0:25:49 > 0:25:54as someone who's had a lot of close personal experience with it?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58She can be the loveliest woman in the world
0:25:58 > 0:26:03and she can be the most evilest cow in the world.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- What, Valium can?- Yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09She can be amazing and she can be...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13She can be the god and she can be the devil.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'll get mine, yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Hello, there.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30HE TALKS TO THE WAITRESS
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I'm good enough to come in here...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You've been very helpful, thank you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35No problem.
