*OMG YES* when i was 27 ,i worked at the prison DEC in lincoln,ne until i had spinal surgery do to a lifting accident. after the surgery i spent almost a decade critically dependant on pain medication. massive prescriptions from the doctors were never enough . i moved to injecting my medication daily . i overdosed more times than i could count, to the brink of death. one day i had an infection in my arm from a missed shot. it went a week and I killed the pain . afraid to lose my Rx monthly supply if i asked for help. at this time a voice in my mind said to me- do you want to live? or do you want to die? i went in to my dr. told him i was abusing my medication. i needed help. i wanted to live. taken off my medication i spent the next 3 years homeless, chasing buying using and overdosing more and more times until i could here the voice again and it was my own . i got an apartment . healed my relationships with my mother and father . brothers and sister and my son. i never forgot the voice . it speaks to me constantly. i love my life and i am so grateful for everyone and everything around me. <3
