Sveštenik Drago, otac petoro dece, bio je 10 godina u kandžama droge: "Valjao sam se po podu u agoniji krize, hteo sam sebi da oduzmem život zbog heroina"
Sa samo 12 godina odao sam se alkoholu, tabletama i marihuani, ubrzo sam završio na heroinu. Prvi put kad sam ga probao, osetio sam da je sav teret pao s mojih leđa i samo sam razmišljao kako želim još... Deset godina sam bio u kandžama zla. Krize su bile zastrašujuće. U toj agoniji sam se valjao po podu, prodavao stvari iz kuće samo da bih imao za drogu!
