I’m not sure, but I think that was the story of Barney Ross who was a former lightweight boxing champion. He went to the service where he was injured, became a dope addict, and was sent to prison.

I could be totally wrong, but I saw a movie called Monkey On My Back years ago, and it was the story of Barney Ross.

It got me curious and so I started looking and found it on Amazon.

Monkey Off My Back: An Ex-Convict and Addict Relates His Discovery of Personal Freedom,by Jack Brown

It was a interesting book as I recall.
