Book Review: Confessions of a Crack Head by Zach Samuels
I work with the homeless here in Calgary, addiction is a word that we hear a lot of, drugs, booze, and gambling are the big three. Often addicts are plagued by other mental health issues, depression, bi-polar, and a variety of other medical terms outside of my realm of knowledge.
There have been plenty of books written about addictions, but Confessions Of A Crack Head is different, it is written by the addict, and takes us through the torrid reality of the sickness.
Maybe the most disturbing aspect of this book is that there may well not be a happy ending. Zach's story is a sad one indeed. He is a well educated guy, had a beautiful wife, home, and baby. Then he discovers the demon Crack Cocaine, possibly one of the most addictive substances ever created.
Sure Zach is a compulsive, but few people regardless of their mental make up can resist this drug. In the space of an eight month time frame Zach hits detox and rehab 4 times. His, unfortunately is not a unique story, I see Zach on a daily basis, sometimes he is black, sometimes he is white, sometimes he is female, but always he is helpless.
As Zach explains, when you do Crack you rapidly become completely out of control, the only thing that matters is where that next hit is coming from. In a two day period he spent $2,500 on the drug. Was it for the 'high?' No is the simple answer, when using heavy you need to keep it in your system to merely maintain. The withdrawal symptoms are too grim to even contemplate.
It did not take long for Zach to crash hard, losing his family, and piece by piece his possessions, and even a place to live. From owning a $500,000 house to picking up butts from the pavement to smoke, in what seemed a blink of an eye.
One of the interesting aspects of this book is the peppering of Daily Journal entries. While these only come from the 'clean' phase, you get a real understanding of his heartbreak. Time and time again you get a real feel for the problem that an addict faces, he doesn't 'use' because he wants to, in fact often he doesn't want to, he wishes nothing better than to be able to drive right on by the dealer's house. But inevitably he does stop, inevitably he buys as much as he can, and inevitably he cannot stop at one or two hits.
After the money in the bank is gone, and all your possessions are just a memory where do you go next? You defraud the bank with fake ATM deposits, you steal money, you kite cheques, you steal, you do anything you can to get that next hit. Zach did all of these and more.
As I said earlier, I see Zach everyday, and it is sad. A couple of months ago he visited my Computer Lab, in the mornings I teach, and because I wanted to make some minor changes to a PowerPoint presentation I had left my Laptop and Digital Projector set up. In the blink of an eye, the laptop was gone, they (there were two of them) didn't even bother to take the power adapter. The machine was password protected, the serial number registered, so it had a very low street value, but enough to get that one more hit. Oh, and this was done under a CCTV system, they were arrested the next day!
Confessions Of A Crack Head should be on everyone's reading list, for the would-be user it should scare you into the next century, for any parent that is worried about son Johnny and drugs, this will give you sleepless nights.
Zach, I know that is not your real name, and I know you have moved the locations around to protect the guilty. But I also know your story is a very true and very frightening one.
Generally I like to grumble about spelling, grammar, and editing, (of course I hate it when I am on the receiving side) but this is a book written from the heart, and had it been over edited much of the 'core' would have been lost.
You can pick up your copy from Zach's website, confessionsofacrackhead dot net.

I just lost a friend to an opiate crack cocaine overdose, and wonder why people do that stuff?
I had a friend that was addicted to xanax and valuum, but decided to hang out with drug dealers the past three months, and overdosed on crack-cocaine, and opiates. I want to think that he is hearing everything I tell him now that he has passed. But I don't know? I believe in God and hope that he knows how much I loved him and hopes he realized that he messed up?
I am sorry for your lose
1..causes it fun
2..cause they like the party lifestyle
3..they are addicted
4.they have nothing else to do
they find it fun and exciting and like the feeling
not all drugs are addicting
i suggest to all people who ever use drugs recreationaly, to stick with alcohol, marijuana, hashish, tobacco, and shrooms and to a less extent ecastsy and lsd..
YOU shouldnt drink to much, because alcohol is 1 of the most addicting drugs..nor should you drink and drive
methamphetamine
alcohol
and opiates, are the most addicting drugs
opiate drugs include- heroin, morphine, codeine, oxycottin
xanax' are formally called alprazolam a powerful benzodiphane,

Cocaine Angel $15.62 Rated: NRSynopsis: Michael Tully makes an assured feature film-directing debut with COCAINE ANGEL, a provocative portrayal of a young man’s downfall as he struggles with cocaine addiction. Shot with gritty frankness in digital video, the film captures the anomie of its location in the Florida suburbs, while the use of mostly non-actors lends it the immediacy of a car crash. Damian Lahey, who also wrote the screenplay, stars as protagonist Scott, an addict whose boyish mien belies the depth of his needs, both chemical and emotional. Finding himself fired after going to work hungover one too many times, Scott goes in search of his girl and a fix, with his desperation visible as he struggles to keep it together along the way. Scott’s occasional girlfriend, Mary (Kelley Forester), is a no-nonsense, crack-addicted prostitute with a child in Texas whose birthday is approaching. Scott promises that he will get her there for the celebration, and the pair embark upon a doomed journey marked by events that spiral ever more seriously out of control, leading to inevitable tragedy. The film carries its heavy subject matter with a success that’s rare in no-budget indies, and adds a taste of humor that only plays up the melancholy. Lahey brings much to the film, endowing his character with a stammer, numerous tics, and a persistent strain of optimism, all of which charm even as his self-destruction frustrates. |
