Right now Ben is speaking. He says he used to work 14/15-hour days, & was the main caregiver of his ill single mother while living in a one-room rental flat. Many of his colleagues were using & he began too.

Ben: Problems came when I went to seek help (wanted to quit & settle down with gf) it was quite hard. Couldn't go to hospitals as they would report me to CNB. Within 7 days, it's protocol, they must report. Deterred me from going there. I had no crime records, but scared of it.

Ben: I googled and a clinic came out & I couldn't afford rates, so carried on using without any help. In 2018 I almost overdosed, went to hospital, hospital called CNB & I was incarcerated in DRC.

Ben: DRC is run by prison services. Total prison setting. Slept on floor, food served under the door, eight to a cell, packed. Kind of a punishment I felt, we had two visits per month, tough time in my life.
