up doing what your parents did because

Knowledge to you.

Amy Provost Canadians coins forever

loves me. She's my baby.

Together nearly four years. Ohh, yeah,

months. Like all of them, I told him

I was 16. I was wonderful.

I read it when I was in jail

cap jumper and cuddled into her. I never

washed her, smell her.

Relaxed and outside.

I mean, we had a lot of trouble. We

recently lost a baby.

Then we can hear we recently lost our

baby. Yeah, let's talk about

better things. I'm explaining. And so we

went down there so rapidly.

And half months pregnant, my baby was

born stillborn, had a little boy and

after that we just started drinking

really heavily. To me, perhaps because we

never used to drink, he waited drinking,

didn't know. We started off drinking a

little bit and then when the baby died,

Most of the coal that was mined

in the Swansea area and at the

Swansea Valley was used in Swansea for

the metal refining. Swansea was then at

one time, uh, the the major coal

metal refining centre for the for the

entire world. But no, missus actually

shut the lot down. It's it's it's awful

when you think of the amount of skill and

the amount of knowledge that was here,

the base and knowledge base that they had

here. And it all just withered away.

That's played a part in in the present

drug problem, I think in Swansea and and

the and the alcoholism, younger people I

feel who can't get into this. Dream on.

Can't. Can't compete

and can't get work, just lose heart and

then they descend into a drug culture.

You go now. So we collect. Really. I

mean, I've always had a little soft spot

for her. Yeah, we're going from here now

and just take it day by day.

Help each other out as much as we can.

February 27th I go to jail, but when I

when I moved in you heard it was

stinking. This is my

bedroom and put my bed down here.

Very dominant, like on my bedside

cabinet and lay the carpet and

put my wardrobes down here.

Company in New York.

Ask me first ever Swansea City title,

probably the proudest ever. I've been to

a few prisons as well. Like I

always wear it with pride. Always walked

round my top off and I wanted

to get clean and starting treatment now

on the 26th of this month. Because

I tattooed myself in Jane had test

results done as a letter then from the

nurse seeing that come down and see me

and and just you urgently when I went

home, she says I'm very sorry, but you

have the right to see that was an

Abscess. I asked to go in for an

operation. That umm, because

I missed. There,

you know, basically, my veins are kaput

now. If I wasn't on heroin, I'd

cry my eyes out with my kids

now, you know, don't get me wrong,

I love them all the bats.

But you know, I can't really see

them while I'm in this, in this

predicament right now. Just a

little boy. I asked my

mother what shall I be?

Shall I be Swansea? Shall

I be scam? This is

what she said to me.

Take your father's gun and

shoot the card. It's gone

forever. Would be my son. You'll

always be Swansea. Who are we?

Jack or me? Who are we?

Jack or me?

Lee Anderson in Swansea, like in like our

shared flat, like with our smart heads

down and outs. Alright, alright. This is

Clinton Hill, famous Clinton, he said. I

could stay here for a couple of days,

so I made myself at home.

Both have to come out and then I started

a program now with methadone, getting

your world of good. For some people,

it'll make them worse than then they have

an orbit on top of yeah, they have an

arrow in habit on top of a methadone.

Arabic people that tend to be stupid,

like they think it's the answer. You

disagree with them because I went off the

heroin and when I get to that point

when it's making me better, I stopped

using heroin and then eventually and in a

couple of months gradually come off the

methadone and whereas the beer brand new

squeaky clean person again.

I've been on it since I can remember. 14

which is the best part man. Anyway, I'm

just going about my day thing. Come on

man.

Alright, well, if it's all about him,

he's he's in India before I had the bad

children. And this is where we used to

walk into our dig. Dig up means like in

Jack Gold arrow and whatever you this is

where we used to go through point on.

This is where we used to go out.

Effort to either there's a divorce

shouldn't be enough. They give us it's

not our things. Alright, let me put this

camera right now. Hang on. It's not our

fault when needles are down there. Yeah,

we clean up what we used to use months

ago when they used to come here. I always

take I always used to take my twins with

me and put them in the same bin and take

them back to the drug project. The Dirty

smart heads that are around that. Needles

about that and what we are the clean

smart heads, the user we are our users,

not smart heads. I think a lot of

heroin addicts have are are using um.

The actual OHH, I'm addicted to heroin to

get away with the way that they lock

in, the way that they talk to people.

And the actual way that that they live

their life style. I like to think that

I've proven them all wrong. I've been

ahead of an addict since I was 18 years

of age, which is nearly 10 years. Yeah,

I'm well known around town for

shoplifting to fund for my habit. But

fingers crossed that if you someone

walked past me in the street they once.

Think I was a dodgy looking *******?

Excuse me French and consider me to look

like a typical smack head. I can't see

any reason why I can't turn my life

around.

Just one moment.

Positive mental attitude as you've put

underneath, you know, I wake up out of

bed in the morning and I thought I see

smoking dope, but that's part of it.

Didn't drink and drugs. And that's what

we all That's the circuit you're in.

I will never. Hello.

I think one thing that you're going to

get into this now speak to me, question,

how long was you almost for Carlos? I'm

lucky at the moment. I got a girlfriend

with a flat at the moment so knows God

knows what's going to happen if she kicks

me out. Whatever they want,

you wouldn't be worrying the table up.

How many times have you been into detox

and rehab or whatever I've been to? I've

been in the detox, bro.

down all day. Let me tell you something

though. She's one ditch. Ohh. Dad took it

out now and then. Just stop. Don't speak

about illegal immigration. Didn't

mean to insult you.

It's a long story. It's not. It's a

short story. If I have a minute with

my son, Amy seems to think that.

That little bit of love in that minute,

she's losing. She would love her sleep. 5

minutes together. You're Samuel Shaw.

Yeah. And yeah, you got one minute now,

I love you so.

In the old days, the way to get out of

the situation was boxing. If you want to

earn a bit of money, you want to become a

professional, you want to get a bit of

money. People are in the boxing, they're

working environment was more physical.

Now you look around and there's no jobs

there for the kids and. The same as

anything else, they want to make a few

Bob and then you've got the people that's

got these drugs right. Okay, Gonzalez

take them into schoolyards where I know

from personal experience, 11 year olds

have been given cannabis and things in

schoolyards and it's it comes down to he

cannot make claim it if you like.

That person will grow up to be 1819

perhaps meet the girl get married drug

problem is still there. The children see

the parents with the drug problem and

it's just a never ending circle when the

when the factories closed down on the

docks closed down. You have the cold tip

has gone from the docks the BP closed

down then. Two company cut back on and

then you've got all the building firms

that were pulling up. It's

deep. Depression can do a lot of things

for a lot of people that I can

understand why these kids get so

depressed and turned to something like

drugs, alcohol, whatever, you know, it's

a sad indictment about society that at 30

years of age you're on the rubbish.

You were like, yeah, she's getting

married. Why would you too, man? Yeah,

we didn't love. Are you doing my

son to marry this girl? Come on.

my best friend, and he's our love of my

life. I love him, he loves me, I love

you, I love you, he loves me. So why

don't we get on, darling?

Because I don't want to be dependent on

methadone. No, no way. Liquid on cuffs

they call it, actually call it liquid

handcuffs because you've got to stay in

there in the one area to take that liquid

every day to stop you from being ill.

It's impossible. It's every other door

and to be loved. I've never been loved.

I've never had a mother or a father to

love me. Basically I was

abused instead of on the couch and before

they punched around, you know. But I am

going to be the best daddy going when

I get to the stage I can see

buck it. I don't want no more.

It was me demonstrating on the very last

freaking very last part I'll ever do in

my whole entire life. I missed the bit

like there's the freaking wallet left me

with, which isn't a ******* pleasurable

oversight, so we'll see.

Mom and dads.

Don't turn your back on your children.

Always be there. Give them plenty of

love and attention.

One chance you have of Levin.

Don't blow it. That's all for

now. Nice one, Clint Ryan Jones,

thank you.

Clean and

sober. For

30 days clean shaving for six

months. How do you get the

six months? Because I was clean

for six months when um.

When was the clean for six months? No,

three months it was cleaned for. They

give him the wrong key ring.

We will be done.

All right.

Turning.
