How The Drug Addiction Began
According to Haim, it was during his young days that the drugs began. He shares, “I was working on ‘The Lost Boys’ when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of ‘Lucas.’ I lived in Los Angeles in the ‘80’s, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a year and a half then it led to crack. I started on the downers, which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight until at the end it was about 85 a day – the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the Valium – I’m not talking about the other pills I went through.”
