»The people who live here on Hafenstrasse* actually got me off heroin. If you’ve been on heroin for ten years, you can’t stand it any more. You hang round in jail or psychiatric clinics and even out on the street nobody wants to have anything to do with you. You put up with all of that for a while, but you reach a point where you’ve had enough. So you either OD or you give it up.«

*) A number of houses on this harbour-front street were taken over by squatters
