Talk to people who had (or have) addictions. There are recovering alcoholics, smokers, gamblers and others as well as drugs. First person interviews can be powerful, especially with those who have managed to take control of their lives again. Call Alcoholics Anonymous or Gambler’s and tell them what you are trying to do. They most likely can put people in touch with you. As parents and teachers if they know someone willing to speak with you. Remember NOT to use names or other identifiers in your story.
