Sam is doing the right thing moving away from where he got in trouble. I was a heroin addict for 10 years all through the 90s. I got clean in the summer of 99 and ended moving to the netherlands to keep from going back on the smack. I was clean for 11 weeks and had a relapse 1 night and smoked some heroin. The next day i phoned my mate who was living in Den Haag and asked if i could visit him or id of ended up back injecting. I was there for 4 days and had got myself a job and my friend was more than happy to have a room mate splitting all the bills. I stayed for 11 years and with the money i saved working there (i was making 1300€ a week) i bought a house to rent out and I retired last year at 45 with 5 rental properties as my pension.

[@zzirGrizz00l]

I'm actually extremely disappointed to see that Christian was arrested 2 days after the end of filming, and is now serving an 8 year prison sentence. The end of this episode really gave me hope for him, but throughout you can just tell he's hanging by a thread. He was SO close, and I mean soo close..
