Addicted

Nobody wakes up and says today Is gonna be that day...

I want to become a drug addict and just throw my life away..

I think I'll do some dope.. go ahead and quit my job..

Lose everything I own.. and forget I am a Mom..

It never really starts the way most people think...

One thing leads to another.. ur hooked b4 u blink..

Well I became a drug addict.. and didn't even know it..

This is a true story.. this is how it all unfolded..

I was in a lot of pain.. so I went to see my Dr...

He had given me some pills.. he said take 2 every 4 to 6 hours..

The pain I have is chronic.. it will never get any better..

It's a condition that won't heal... I am stuck with it 4 ever..

I was given a prescription. from my family physician..

I was a drug addict before I knew it..

I didn't get to make that decision..

Never in my life before that time..had I ever touched a drug..

I drank alcohol here and there..

Nothing more then a little buzz..

My life might not have been the greatest..

But I was doing just fine..

5 kids and a single parent..

I was working all the time..

Until I was prescribed the medication..

It took over everything...

Started needing to take the pills..

To get up and do anything..

Fast forward down the road several years later..

I'm sober now Thank God..

But I'll be a drug addict now 4 ever..

All because of pills I was given to from my Dr.

Ripped my life apart.. I'm still working on putting it all back together..
