Had you done, did you smoke heroin?

Yeah.

Crack?

Yeah.

And the codeine was the worst?

Yeah.

One million percent.

Why do you think the codeine was the worst over them?

The psychological effects.

As I said to you as well, just as a by the way, and I had said this on the phone to you, I shared a room with a girl in treatment and she was withdrawing from codeine.

And I, honest to God, there's a bond the two of us had because I was coming off the benzos, she was coming off the codeine.

And we were by far the worst out of that whole treatment centre.

Oh, one million percent, yeah.

the worst I remember doing coming off alcohol and simple but those tablets oh my good lord the psychological and the physical effects that the toll that takes on your body Brenda it's a huge price to pay

What had you been taking?

Lethal combination.

Before I move on to the final three questions, with the court case, what was the outcome?
