It all started when I got my wisdom teeth taken out. I was prescribed percocet. It made me feel on top of the world; like I could do anything. When the prescription ran out I called the Doctor and requested more; the prescription was filled. The pills finally ran out but I was able to obtain pills from co-workers and by stealing them from family members and friends. |

I was caught stealing painkillers from a co-workers purse. Everyone was shocked because no one ever would have suspected that I would steal from them or yet alone be addicted to prescription drugs. I've realized that I cannot live my life in constant search of a substance that will alter my mood. I want to get high off of life and all that it has to offer. |

I recovered by myself with the help of counseling from my college. Since, I was more of a recreational user and I did not use the drugs every day, recovery wasn't that difficult for me. I have to hold back when I am confronted with prescription drugs but I am certain I will not use again. |

I believed that I did not have a problem because I did not use the pills everyday. But I realized that I did have a problem when I stooped so low by stealing from a coworker. Even if you believe that you aren't as bad off as other prescription pill abusers; if you are obtaining the drug illegally you probably do have a problem. |
