 There’s nothing worse than being recommended something to cure what ails you, just to find out that it’s destroying your life. That’s what happened to me when I got hooked on prescription drugs. I got in a bad car accident a few years ago and the pain that I felt was killer. After the whole stay in the hospital the doctor thought it would be best if he prescribed a little something for the not so little pain that i was feeling all over. Since I could barely move from all the injuries that I sustained I agreed with the decision that the doctor had made. It all seemed like it was going to work out before I ended up getting hooked on my prescription drugs. It was a nightmare. I found myself popping more and more pills everyday. At first it was to numb the pain and then it was to keep my mind off of the pain that i was trying to numb. After it went on for a while my wife found a drug treatment center that was experienced in handling prescription drugs addiction. It added a little more pain to my life, which sucked, but I’ve managed to stay away from the pills for over three years already. Drug treatment made me better again and it wasn’t even that painful after all.

I remember it all as more of a blur than anything else. My addiction to prescription drugs was the worst. It all started after my car accident. Well, it wasn’t so much a car accident as it was me riding my bike and getting hit by a car. I was in a coma for a couple of days and when I woke up on third day, I woke up alone and in serious pain. I was in the hospital for about a week before being discharged and I was still in a terrible amount of pain. The doctor said that I would experience a great deal of more pain before actually feeling better. It was okay for me as long as I was no longer in the hospital. The good doctor prescribed some pain killers that I was more than happy to take and away I went. The problem, however, was that I never really felt like the pain went away and by the time it did I was hooked on my prescription drugs. Being hooked on prescription drugs was a terrible pain to feel. It was even worse than the pain from my accident. I immediately signed up for drug treatment and got my life back in order and now the only pain in my life is my car note. Oh well, you can’t have it all.
