He has spent many, many nights over the years, holding me and rocking me while I cried and shook with withdrawals. Although he has been frustrated, he has stood by me and tried to help me. Sometimes I feel that this is a man that I m undeserving of. I m not going to give up this fight, I m merely taking one day at a time. Like I said, one day at a time.
Some days are easier than others.
I, too, have been struggling for the last 9 years with prescription drug addiction. A psychological addiction can last a lifetime. My problem started about 9 years ago, when I was suffering from severe migraine headaches. I started taking them when I didn t have a migraine. Tolerance develops quickly with these types of medications, so I had to take more of the drug to get the same effect.
