what happened?
Does anybody know what happened to the people in this movie? Did anyone of the kids manage to get clean, or are they all still strung out or even dead?

I read somewhere that there should be some follow up from 2004, has anyone seen that ?
sharei have. jake eventually quit heroin and went on methadone, but he felt so much pressure to get off of methadone he ended up going back to heroin and overdosing. he's deceased.
tracy cleaned up. her boyfriend that was shooting up in his neck overdosed.
nobody knows what happened to jessica
oreos girlfriend overdosed. the other girl has been clean for a while.
and i forgot the rest.
When you mentioned two of the people overdosing, do you mean they died from the overdoses? I understand that Jake died from overdosing but what about the other two?
So no real update on Oreo then?
And the girl who has been clean for a while must be "Alice."
I wonder what Tracy is finally doing, now that she cleaned up. She would be probably 34 years old by the time the update was done. I think she was the oldest of all the addicts profiled with the exception of maybe Ben, her abusive boyfriend. She had said she had no job skills and couldn't fathom what she would do out in the real world once she got off the junk. I do wonder what she is doing....
I tried to upload the necessary files on the two sites recommended and was not able to do so because I have AOL. Says AOL is not permitted entrance.
oreos girlfriend is dead from overdosing. tracys ex boyfriend is dead from overdosing.
oreo disappeared. no one knows what happened to him.
tracy went to school and became a counselor.
Hi, I was wondering how did you find the info for the follow up? I"m having trouble finding it.. thanks!
sharethe person i bought the dvd from had a follow up on the dvd that was filmed years later, i believe in 2004. i think that's when hbo ran a special on what happened to them. you won't find it anywhere on the internet. no where that i know of anyway.

Here's the update on youtube
If anybody has a link to the 2004 update, that would be excellent.
It was included on the special features on the DVD... so I doubt nobody has uploaded it. It would also be nice to read an article about their updates. If Tracy really got clean and became a counselor, then that' awesome! Good for her.
Jessica seemed the most messed up. It was really sad to see her at the end. This was a great documentary!
Dope Sick Love, about two addict couples in NYC - powerful and distressing.
I told you when I came I was a strangershare
Yeah, I just saw "the Dark end of the street" tonight, man, it was so heartbreaking. I want to get "Dopre sick love" for x-mas, I've never watched it b4 but it seems interesting.
I wonder what happened to Oreo? That's sad that he is missing. ALl of them had such sad lives. Jake and Jessica were so heartbreaking.
from the lot, alice came across as the bubblegummer and the one who would pass that stage of her life.
shareHi. I have the 2004 update on my Youtube channel:

Alice just celebrated 8 yrs clean. She looks amazing and is living the dream! NA works!
sharei would really like to see the 2004 update
sharefor future reference, i wouldn't waste your time with dope sick love. the people in it are completely unsympathetic, it's really hard to feel bad for them. they lack the heart and regret and sadness that these people had. they're sleazy and seem perfectly content with the way they are. i wish the update were online somewhere... i live in san francisco and my curiosity is driving me crazy, it makes me want to seek them out myself, haha.
shareWell that doesn't really matter right? I mean I watched Dope Sick Love because I'm interested to see what kind of life they have, I don't really care if they are sympathetic or not.

The fact that she appeared in a Documentary about her addiction would kind of undermine her Anonymity wouldn’t it?
shareHere's the 2004 update on Youtube:

Thanks! It was very interesting!
shareI did a little research on Alice and was a bit shocked what she looks like today:

Here is a link which is the most update info I can find out there,
