At the moment, myself.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I was a chronic substance abuser for roughly 30 years. Mainly a heroin addict for approximately 20 years. I am, nevertheless, highly educated and well read in areas not relative to my degrees. I was aware of the original study and some subsequent ones and had already in my own introspective researches known why I had went down the road I had. Therefore, it was obviously very satisfying finding a scientific conformation for ideas I had but only at the introspective level. I believe there is a way to incorporate the ACE's science into Addiction services in Scotland, especially in helping addicts understand themselves more and in informing Prevention agencies.
