The High Society
The High Society subverts these usual images and stereotypes by presenting a wide and varied group of professional people who are drug abusers and recovering addicts. Their stories challenge our glib and mistaken assumptions. Some may anger and horrify you. These are people whom we respect and with whom we all come in contact - among them our law makers and law enforcers, politicians and accountants, doctors and surgeons, our priests and our nuns. The 'professional' drug abuser - of which there are very, very many - forces us to re-examine our attitudes towards, and our awareness of, the drugs and the addicted around us. The High Society lifts the lid on the reality of substance abuse in contemporary, affluent, professional Ireland. It reveals our unreported drug problem for the first time.

If you think you did something terrible? Would you tell?

It gives me the illusion that I’m in control. Even though I know I never can be. Twenty years ago, I lost everyone I ever loved, and they say it was all my fault. I’ve tried to make sure I could never hurt anyone again, but it’s hard to live any kind of life without letting anyone get close to me. And then come the sirens; the knock at the door. If I’d done something terrible, I would know, wouldn’t I? An absolutely unputdownable p...
