In one of the most dramatic episodes of Memory Lane, Roger tells a story of love, divorce, & drug addiction. Roger came from a well-off family, & he is very aware that his trajectory, as well as his race, played a part in how his particular addiction story played out. For Roger, who was working as a nurse at the time, was prescribed Hydromorphone after an injury (which is commonly known under its German Brand name Dilaudid). Within 6 weeks of this prescription, Roger was shooting up Hydromorphone at dangerously high levels. And then he was caught. 

Listen to this extremely compelling edition of Memory Lane to hear one of the quickest falls I have yet to learn of into the pit of addiction. Roger is forthright & now can look back years later, but his addiction , he says, destroyed everything in his life. He is only now, almost a decade later, being able to reconstruct what addiction took from him.

Share this story of addiction with someone who is in danger of developing this illness!
