Tales of a Recovered NY Drug Dealer

Tales is the true story of Ernie Drey, born and raised in NYC the product of a dysfunctional family. His father was an alcoholic and his mother was ill and couldn't care for him. Trying to provide a better life for her son, Ernie's mother enrolls him in an elite private school on the Upper East Side. Feeling out of place among such privileged children, Ernie fell in with a bad crowd and began experimenting with drugs. Recreational use quickly evolved into full-blown addiction, and Ernie found himself living on the streets, surviving as a drug dealer and thief. Tales takes you into that world for a seldom-seen look into the underground culture of the addict. Ernie's harrowing tale of despair, and his ardurous journey to recovery, is a must-read for those struggling with substance abuse problems and the people who love them.
