It took all the power in my world to make THE call

My drug treatment program saved my life and the lives of my family. Hell, they may have saved the lives of my friends, too. I say that because drug treatment did actually save me from drug addiction. And, I’m sure you know that drug addiction can kill you. The drug treatment program saved the lives of my family and friends because I was the one that everybody depended on before I got hooked on drugs. I was everybody’s rock. I knew I was. Maybe that’s how I started getting high in the first place. When I lost my job I really needed someone to lean on. The worst part about that time in my life was that nobody stopped needing me. My family and friends still needed me to keep the fabric of all our lives fully intact. The pressure became far to difficult to take and I folded under the pressure. I started taking painkillers to numb the pain, but it eventually stopped working. Before you knew it, I was deep in the clutches of a painkiller addiction. It could have torn my family apart. It almost did tear my family apart, but the rock in me took the initiative to call a drug treatment program. That did the trick. It was good to know that I finally had rock to lean on so that I could keep it together.
