It is a true story with a unblinking insight into the mindset of an addict and an invaluable message of recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut why does a conscientious member of the 15th Hampstead Cub Scouts, with six badges of merit on his scratchy little green jersey, turn into a no-good, thieving junkie?
