I was so addicted to cocaine that I couldn’t do anything without it, but there came a time when I decided to quit. Cocaine made me unstable. It made me a cheater. Huma lived quite alone during this time. She wanted to move from England to Karachi. So that he can stay away from his parents but I did not want this.
