oxycontin methadone lortab |
| |
My boyfriend turned me on to lortab which I only used ocassionally. I liked what it did to me. It gave me the energy and blocked out everything else. A friend of mine introduced me to oxycontin. It did not take me long at all to become addicted. Within 6 months I had quit college, couldnt hold a job and no longer talked to my family. After about a year of destructive behavior I finally overdosed and ended up in ICU.
Well, the only people there for me then was my mom and dad. I went to treatment for 21 days, but after about 3 weeks I was back at it again except this time it was worse than ever. I stole money from my own family and pawned everything I could get my hands on. I knew that behavior was not me. |

I finally took a look at what I had done to my family. It hurt me to see how much pain they were in and to know that i caused it all. My boyfriend decided to leave for a year to go to rehab and I knew that i needed to get help too. |

It has been three weeks and the pain is awful. I stay depressed a lot wondering if life will ever get any better, but I know that it will eventually. With every day my attitude toward life brightens a little. I am trying to get into a halfway house right now because I know that is what I need. I forgot how to live like a normal person, but I am slowly learning that the future is bright where it once wasnt. |

Take it one day at a time. Go to meetings and talk about your problems. Always remember that your family is always there for you. Try praying because believe it or not it works. |
