This is when you are at the peak of your drug addiction hence you are in the attic of the house of your addiction. You can get no higher with your addiction and it is fabulous! It's not fabulous at all. You're a drug addict and your life revolves around drugs and nothing else matters as much…
Tony: "Hey! Jimmie is a mess! He can't break away from the H or the F or the C. He's a total addict. We gotta help him!"
Petey: " I got an idea. We'll help him. He's in the drug attic stage. It's now or never. We'll help him, but first I gotta get to the horse track, pick up some scratch off's, and watch three straight hours of porn on my phone in my car. I'll be over."
