'The Junkie Miracles' tells the stories of four drug addicts on the day they decided to get help. It tells the stories of four recovering addicts, the abyss in which they find themselves, and the experiences that finally shook them hard enough to get themselves into recovery.

Writer Des Dillon asked these people to tell him about the worst day of their lives, the day they hit rock bottom and made them want to recover. So, these are four stories of people hitting that rock bottom, and eventually coming back out of that in some way or another. They aren’t all necessarily happy endings either. Ultimately, we need to realise that these people are human beings.

It is hoped this play expands people’s acceptance and empathy for other human beings who have fallen outside of the circle for what many consider to be ‘acceptable’ in life. These stories have been under-represented in Scotland, and only by telling them can we change the stigma.
