They were destroying my life but they also took the edge off
What is a painkiller addiction? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s a cancer that you personally insert into your life. It really is. I know because I personally was responsible for destroying my life with a painkiller addiction. Yeah, sucks, huh? I started out as a regular guy with a slightly regular back injury and became a guy with a far from regular painkiller addiction. The pain from my injury was fierce and I’ll be honest, it was a little unbearable. I tried as hard as I could to endure it without the painkillers but it was virtually impossible. I started taking the pills and trying as hard as I could to not rely on them, but I finally gave in. I soon became a painkiller monster. I was popping them like candy and not necessarily for the pain. They made me feel good and made me forget the pain. Hell, they made me forget the pain of everything in life. That was all fine and good, but I eventually realized that I had a problem that needed to be handled. I finally made the call and the drug treatment center took me the rest of the way. I got help for my painkiller addiction and turned my life back around. Thank god for drug treatment.
