For the image, writing on Facebook writes Ian Higginson the following:
‘I’ve put it here spread out. For if I can stop 25 years of abuse, which almost felt like a sentence in a prison, and which nearly cost me my life, then you can also. If I can help to change someone’s life, then I can turn my past negative behavior to something positive. Cocaine has by no means given me any benefits in my life. It is only when one stops his abuse, that you even can see it. You will be so kind as to share it here lookup. It is meant to help others.’
Already at the age of 18-19 was Ian Higginson dependent on cocaine. And like many others, he started to take the highly addictive drug in a social context. But after several years of abuse began to his nose, and slowly rot away. He also managed to use half of a large inheritance on the white fabric for the nose.
Ian Higginson tells Manchester Evening News that his cocaine abuse really started when he got a job as a steward and in particular flew long trips to Jamaica, where it was extremely easy to obtain cocaine.
– In the breaks between flights, I met a guy who had lots of cocaine. I bought always a big portion of him, as I took in the days before we were to fly back to the Uk. And it was during this period that I truly became addicted to, says Ian.
– In England, I used often my evenings with a second job as a bouncer, so I could earn more money for my cocaine usage, and here I took also cocaine to keep me awake. I frequently used the app. 3000 dollars a week on cocaine, and some times smoke amount to up to approx. 9000 dollars, says Ian.
The 44-year-old Ian Higginson started later a number of successful business, but he spent virtually all of his earnings on cocaine. And when his mother died, he inherited her house at a value of 1.4 million dollars. He sold the house, and in the course of the years spent he half of his inheritance on cocaine.
The many years of violent abuse of cocaine led also according to Ian, that he had difficulty getting his women to work, because the cocaine came always in the first row in relation to the lovers, as he has had.
In 2016, the smoke Ian in the hospital in connection with his cocaine-abuse:
‘When I snorted cocaine, came often small hudstykker from the nose out. It was appalling and repulsive. The pain was excruciating, but then I took just some more cocaine to stop the pain.’
Ian’s nose got worse and worse. And the doctors also told him that he suffered from allergies for cocaine, which prevented his nose would heal properly.
It all became so terrible that Ian took on an intervention in a month. But he had a relapse and was back on cocaine. However, in June last month he had had enough and stopped again. And now has Ian been clean for almost a year and has found himself a girlfriend, who he is absolutely in love with.
Ian believes himself that he has got his life back by stopping his abuse of cocaine. Private
