A True Story:

Hi I am Jamie, I am 28 years old. I have two kids one is 10 years old and one is two 1/2. My kids mean the world to me. About five years ago my oldest son went to go live with my parents due to financial reasons on my end.

It was the best thing for him at the time. Anywho,about 2 months after he went to live with my parents I started doing excasty and cocaine EVERYDAY. I had to have my drugs it was my life. I had my breaking point about a year in to my use, when I walked by a full length mirror in my room and I jumped cause I didn’t recongize myself.

I looked horrible, I thought someone was in my house………….I am 5′2 and weighted 87 pounds. I got in my car and drove myself to rehab. I was clean for about 2 years and had a relapse after my best friend killed herself. I started doing pain pills, was really heavy into them. It was a sick feeling to have to wake up everyday either go to the doctors office or hunt for them all day.

I would spend 8-10 hours just looking for my high, and if I couldn’t get it I would take over the counter medication just to get me bye. I found out about suboxene, and I wanted it so bad. Now just think I had alot of surgeries and within months I was hooked. I found the suboxene was just as bad. I was getting Fuped on something that was suppose to stop me from taking 28 meds a day to function. I finally said the is enough black eyes, enough of 3 times broken nose, and bruises all over the place from taking to many pills and falling.

My pshycistric thought my husband was beating on me. I needed help, I didn’t want to feel pain, so I was masking it with pills and people like my husband who only has taken asprins his whole life was floored by how the pills were becoming my life. I am a full blown addict. No matter what or how u slice the pie, I have an addictive personality and when I wasnt something I am going to get it. Thru thearpy and counseling I have overcome my pill addiction. I am suffering for the rest of my life because I wanted to get high.

I have sever depression due to excasty, Anxiety due to the excessive use of cocaine,I was doing 40 tabs a day and 3 eight balls of cocaine a day. Then I had a few surgies and get hooked on pills. Now for the first time I can say I have been drug free, taking my medication the right way (as prescribed) I am starting school soon and getting my life back on track. I have friends that do there drugs but I figure if u can’t do it and put it away then U don’t need to do it.

I just hope I may help someone who is bad off on these types of drugs to let them know that there is hope. If u believe…………….
