How did you become addicted?
  My addiction began with pain from endometriosis,for eight and a half years I used everyday,I had so many doctors, and so many pills, I lived to use,I am a single mom, I have two sons ages 10 and 11, I love my career .As my sons got older I loved being super mom (on pills) I was always on the go...until
   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  21 months ago, I woke up in the Critical Care unit,and asked why I was there. Then I was told that my sons woke up for school one morning and found me blue on the floor,they thought I was dead,they called 911 and said that their mommy died.NOW THAT WAS PAIN.....No pill could help that...My bottom was so close to death that I chose to live...
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  I went to a rehab for 34 days-,I spent Christmas and New Years there. My sons came to visit and asked me why don't I take my pills to make me better....they were always with me at the doctors appointments and pharmacies... I call them my heros,at 8 and 9 they saw my addiction almost kill me,they saved my life that day...I went to NA meetings every night,and listened and followed every suggestion, and I reached out. I love living without pills now,what I thought was impossible is possible...
   
Your advice to others?
  I use my heart in recovery, my mind brought me to too many doctors....Listen and pray...
