The nature of addiction and the search for treatment

This is my story of getting away from herion.

Dont think it could never happen to someone you know cause they could have a probulem right now and you might not notice yet...but in time you will!
I am 23 years old and I have been "clean" for 2 years today! My long journey started when I got in a car accident on my way home from graduation practice....I broke my ankel in a few places and had to have pins put in it which long story short few sugreys later and a year and a half had passed and before I knew it I was addicted to my pain pills so when they took them away from me I found Oxycotten on the streets to ease "the pain".



And some one showed me herion when i could no longer find OXY.
To shorten it up I was on herion for 2 years and finaly one christmas I was lying on the floor thinking "I cant do this anymore". I was so sick from not haveing any money for herion. So I went to my mother (which I had tore my familey apart already) and said I need help!

She took me to this doctor who put me on Suboxine and instead of it being like other pills this one you could NOT do herion on or you would get VERY sick. 5 months later (NEVER touched anything else or even wanted to with these pills) I found out I was pregnant so I STOPPED taking the pills. I was scared to death that I would want to go back...........well 2 years today and I havent touched it or even wanted it

If you or anybody you know needs help then get help. I would check into the SUBOXINE..... it saved my life and my familey.

This is my story shortened up and I hope you get something out of it........ it can happen to anybody.

I was the captin of my cheer squad all through school, straight As and Bs, my citys Miss. in pagents I was the all american girl in so many ways and it HAPPENED to me!

Look for the signs, they will be their and help someone dont judge or put them down let them know you are their for them and you want to do what you can to help!
Thanks
