I dreamt that you were twisting through seven suns of gold and the gypsy was insisting

that story must be told I came two in the morning but I took it as a warning that you might be a treasure.

I could touch but never hold.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome back to the Soberful podcast.

I'm delighted that today I am joined by Simon Mason from the UK.

Hi, Simon.

Hi, Monica. I'm really, really looking forward to this because I,

so I'm going to tell you a little bit about Simon. Simon wrote a fantastic memoir that was out

actually about 10 years ago now and it was called Too High, Too Far Too Soon. And it was about

his experiences as a drug dealer and as Oasis is the drug dealer.

And I'm going to tell you, I get sent a lot of memoirs and I don't read them. I'm sure they're

great. But I just don't, I'm not really, you know, I just don't want to keep reading drug

memoirs. But I read this one and it was not really, you know, I just don't want to keep reading drug memoirs.

But I read this one and it was excellent.

It got lots of acclaim.

It did really well.

And it became a stage show in London's West End.

Is that right?

It did.

And by the way, Irvin Welsh, he had trained spotting, Notary books, filmed and also said, I generally tend to not read drug memoirs, but I really enjoyed this one. So you're in good company, you're in Ervin Welsh, and yes, it did become a stage show, and currently it is actually adds to prints whilst I put the finishing touches to the follow-up, which we will talk about, I'm sure.

Oh, brilliant. Yeah, it was really, it was really good.
