I’m not a junkie On my first day at my first job, as I tried to get along with my colleagues, one of them said to another, ‘Can you imagine how much crack he must’ve done for his speech to be so messed up?’ Then, a week or two later, my boss called me in and basically interrogated me about what illegal drugs I was taking to cause my speech to be so messed up. I had been working there for three months. I tried to convince everyone that I don’t do drugs, but no one believed me. People can be so disappointing
