We Saved Each Other From Addiction | Sarah Hiscox “I Wouldn’t Be Alive Without You”
"I remember picking you up in my little mini Metro outside your flat, dad's flat. And you getting in the car and me turning to you and saying, listen, I'm really worried about you. Can I just say something? I'm back there. I can feel it. I'm right back in that car as well. So weird. So weird. It was dark, it was winter. But then the minute I got out of the car, I mean, your memory might— maybe I did crumble before. I mean, it was so long ago, right? But I cried all the way to the front door."
Davina McCall describes the pivotal moment in 1988 when she confronted her best friend Sarah Hiscox about her heroin addiction before a Santana concert. The intervention, which took place in McCall's car outside Sarah's father's flat, became the catalyst for Sarah attending her first recovery meeting the next day and never using again.
