My boyfriend and I are opiate users. We started using about a year ago when we started hating our jobs and went into a deep depression. We both have had experience with using pain pills for certain accidents that happened in our lives and was prescribed by a doctor(s). It started small and has turn into full addiction. We've tried several times to stop on our own and going cold turkey just isn't an option. The withdrawl is just too hard on both of us. We go thru about a gram a day. (Per person) Its eating away at our health, mentally and physically, and our pockets. I just don't know what options we have left before we hit rock bottom. I had made a silly notion about going into a coma for a few days or being sedated. And my boyfriend said there was hospitals that do that. So I looked into it and found this. We both live in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm 29 and he's 30. I just want to live my life again and feel like myself.
