That\'s What Junkies Do is a brutally honest, often dark journey of one man\'s struggle with alcoholism and drug addiction.
Now, a grown man and upstanding citizen, with a career, a fiancé and people who count on him every day, Thomas secretly navigates his way through a seven-and-a-half-year struggle with various prescription medications, eventually finding his way back to recovery and the life he always prayed for when times were at their worst..
He comes back to life only to fall back into his old ways a few short years later.
When thoughts of ending it all become a better choice than living how he is, Thomas finally asks for help and gets it through a program of twelve step recovery.
There is nothing he won\'t do and nobody he won\'t hurt.
Thomas\'s life becomes a vicious cycle of addiction, graduating to harder and more damaging drugs.
Once released he immediately reverts to the same ways.
After losing a promising career in the financial industry, his life turns even darker, eventually being hospitalized in a psych unit for alcohol and cocaine use.
It is back in his old hometown that his life starts to unravel at a steady and almost torturous pace.
When things start to turn sour in Pleasantville, he moves back to Brooklyn for a geographic change.
Being a good student, Thomas lands a scholarship to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York, where his alcohol use and hard partying ways increase with each passing day.
His fear and insecurity leaves and his lifelong struggle begins.
Alcohol gives him the courage to be the person he always wanted to be.
The story starts innocently enough in 1980\'s Brooklyn, NY, with a young boy, Thomas Figlioli , making a bad choice so he could gain the respect of a group of kids he looked up to and admired.
