Sarab village resident and opium addict Islam Beg talks about his living conditions after having an early morning smoke in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan on July 13, 2009. “I don’t have a life. I don’t have anything. It’s finished. Everything was spent on opium,” he said. In dozens of mountain hamlets in this remote corner of Afghanistan, opium addiction has become so entrenched that whole families - from toddlers to old men - are addicts.
