How did you become addicted?
  I have been sick with many female problems since the age of 13. I have been on all types of painkillers. It all started about two to three years ago. I started to see a doctor who believed that pain medicine was the answer for me. I began using vicodin, ultram, vicoprofen, and darvocet. I got really bad in the summer of 2003, I began taking up to 20 750 mg vicodin a night. If I did not have a prescription, I would find someone who sold it. I could not survive without it!
   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  I was arrested in the summer of 2003 because I got caught calling in prescriptions into pharmacies.
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  The following week after my arrest, I went to detox for 72 hours. I began to go to rehab and counseling.
   
Your advice to others?
  There is a reason they call this medications "pain killers", the addiction slowly begins to kill you. Addiction is not fun. My addiction dissappointed many people in my life and myself. Recovery is a challenge just allow time for yourself and others around you. LOVE yourself!
