In this street walk on Vesterbro, Julie tells the story of how a life that looked well-ordered – with work, family, friends and a partner – was pulled off course by heroin. She was 33 when she shares her story and describes seven years in which addiction gradually took over her home, her relationships and her sense of self, including a period of homelessness and a dangerous situation with people she owed money to.
Her account also turns toward recovery: how her family reached back to her, how she entered a specialised treatment programme that she still attends today, and how she has kept her humour and good spirits. Expect an honest, personal walk through the neighbourhood where it all unfolded.
