Two years I was hooked on morphine. Two years I was lost in the Fog, in the Need. Two years I was a shell of myself, a victim of painkiller addiction, unable to think or care about anything besides my overwhelming desire to Use. Two years I was hooked on morphine. And truth be told, there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it.
I tried quitting morphine on my own. Twice, actually. The first time I made it two weeks. The second time I made it two days. Anyone who tells you you can get clean on your own is either a liar or a fool. That’s just not the way works, not the way addiction recovery happens. Two times I tried to quit morphine, and two times I failed. And then I get help…professional painkiller addiction treatment…and it made a world of difference.
Drug treatment saved my life, if you really want to know. Saved me from Myself, from my Need; dragged me out of the Fog once and for all. Without morphine treatment, I wouldn’t be here, today, writing this. Without morphine treatment, I wouldn’t be here telling you that drug rehab really can work, provided you give it a chance. For your own sake, don’t wait another day to take me at my word.
