Drug addict success stories with english translation.

Daniela: Hi, what’s your name?

Marco: My name is Marco.

Daniela: Where are you from, Marco?

Marco: From Milan, Italy…

Daniela: How old are you?

Marco: 44.

Daniela: Marco, what was your problem? Why did you come to this clinic?

Marco: I had tons of problems. I was using heroin, cocaine, methadon, oxycodone, benzodiazepine, steroids, alcohol… Everything…

Daniela: For how many years?

Marco: Eeeh… I started very young… I was underage…

Daniela: 14… 16 years?

Marco: Yes… 15… With 16 I was already using the needle.

Daniela: And most recently… What was your main drug? What were you using before you came to the clinic?

Marco: Well, I had to use methadone, then oxycodone… then, I used heroin and cocaine…

Daniela: Before you came to our clinic, did you try to get treated at some other clinic..?

Marco: Yes, yes! I was in Switzerland, in Italy… I was in three communes… nothing helped…

Daniela: What were the results like? How did it go?

Marco: It was terrible… In the end I escaped from the clinic… Because they don’t take proper care of you… Their doctors are not that specialised for addicition diseases in particular… Here they take care of everything, from the beginning to the end… I finished the treatment here and I felt really good… They are really well trained, professional… It’s very good…

Daniela: How long did the treatment last?

Marco: I spent here… almost a month… 28 days…

Daniela: 28 days… What did you have… detoxification, ibogaine therapy..?

Marco: Yes, I also had ibogaine therapy…

Daniela: How did it go with ibogaine..?

Marco: Eehh… Ibogain is something you can’t explain… You have to try it… It’s really strong… but useful.

Daniela: And the day after taking ibogaine… How did you feel?

Marco: Like another person. It’s something… acctually… it’s hard to believe… one has to try it…

Daniela: Yes…alright. How do you feel now?

Marco: Now I feel fine. I’m fine, I feel like a new person.

Daniela: Ok… And did you feel pain during the treatment? Did you have symptoms of withdrawal?

Marco: No… acctually… it makes sense… There’s no magic wand that can erase everything… but during the detoxification I really didn’t feel anything! I can say I felt really good… I also stopped smoking… Earlier I smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day.

Daniela: Excellent, fine… And now, what do you plan to do? What are your plans for the future? From tomorrow on…

Marco: From tomorrow… nothing… I hope that the job… that everything is going to be ok… my family… everything, I have a 14-year-old daughter.

Daniela: You have a great motivation there…

Marco: Of course, of course… also, I’m embarrassed, I don’t want to look high all the time… I really want to start a new life… because considering I’m 44 years old… a man of my age has to know what he wants from life.

Daniela: Yes… You decided to have a healthy and nice life…

Marco: Yes, because… anyways… I have a good job… all in all, I lack nothing… When I take all in consideration, my only problem was drugs. I have a wonderful wife, lovely daughter… lovely family, there’s nothing more I could want…

Daniela: Great, thank you.

Marco: You’re welcome.
