''Heroin Story'' is a memoir by David Poses, about his decades-long addiction to heroin and other opioids. Unlike most stories about junkiedom, there's no hitting of rock bottom or descent into depravity. Even after years of using David manages to remain employed, functional, and in control of his drug use. The book is also quite critical of the 12-Step Programs. It offers a rarely-heard (if [[Main/SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped surprisingly crucial]]) perspective on heroin addiction.

->''"I wrote this book because writing is best way I know to help. My agent says I need a bigger platform for publishers to be interested. But, people are dying now. Every 19 minutes, another life is tragically cut short by overdose. As a country, our systemic failure to triage a national health emergency stems from a laser-focus on the effect of opioid addiction with virtually no attention to the cause. Maybe I'm hopelessly naive but...I'd like to change that."''
