Stories of Recovery

<< previous story story index next story >>

Name:
Brian
Age:
19
   
Drug of Choice:
  oxycontin
   
How did you become addicted?
  I had been huge into alcohol and pot since i was 13. Then i was introduced to oxycontin and was hooked on the first try. I then started using IV and my life started to go down the tube. I dropped out of college and lost all of my friends.
   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  I realized that oxy's were my life and nothing could make me happy unless i was on oxy's. I then lost my first love of my life and that was enough for me.
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  Ive been through 6 treatment centers and have moved to different cities to try to get away from it. I finally found a medication that could block the opiate receptors in my brain so i couldnt feel the effects of the oxy's. Ive been clean for about 2 months with little cravings. I attend AA and NA meetings. They help.
   
Your advice to others?
  Dont mess around with those pills. Ive seen it destroy lives and kill many of my friends. Choose life.
