'I was a menace to society' before getting Wet House job

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

"Heroin came into my life at 13 or 14" says one key worker at a Southampton Wet House. Dwayne was first arrested at the age of 13 and was an addict of both drink and drugs for 17 years. He said "I was a menace to society" but changed his ways because he didn't want his children to be "ashamed" of his behaviour. The Wet House is a place where homeless people with serious alcohol problems can live and continue drinking. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on January 15 2015.
