Addiction

The dangers of prescription drug abuse.

I started abusing perscription drugs when I was 14. The doctors just gave me anyting I wanted so I had it made. I could ignore my dysfunctional family and their abuse. Unfortunatly the more often I took the pills less they helped. By 16 I had already overdosed but I kept going. The numbness was the only thing that I though was keeping me sane. Boy was I mistaken there.

I got my first criminal charge at 16 for stealing from wal-mart. I was so out of it that night I couldnt even tell you what I took. Even through this I still did not want to quit doing the pills. About this time I had started crushing my pills up and snorting them. It did not matter what kind of pills they were either.

I married a drug dealer 3 days after I turned 18. This was when things really fell apart. We were married in June and had split up in April of the following year. I had failed at my marriage and it killed me. I was 2 months pregnant on top of it.

I moved home with my parents for about a week and ended up leaving the to be with a meth addict who was very abusive. I stayed though, why I still do not know. The DHS/CPC agency came in and took my son when he was 9 months old and have him to my ex husband. Even after that I stayed, I will never be able to forgive myself for that. the police showed up at my door with a warrent and found the stolen prescription pad that I had been using to get extra pills. I was charged with several counts of possession with the intent to deliver. They found 720 pills and I was so high I took the blame for everything that was in the house including his meth.

That was all in 2008. I still do not have custody of my son, but have filed for custody. As of right now I can not even talk to him on the phone. I ruined relationships and stole from the people I love. These drugs don’t just hurt your body, they destroy your soul and kill your dreams.

To teens do not even start taking pills, use them when they are nessecary. They are highly addictive and you don’t even realize your hooked untill it is too late.
