A great video from Face the Issue about the effects of drugs narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker.

The following is an anonymous quote from a young addict trying to reclaim their life.

ok, so pot, is fine let’s not get into that….

but whenever i hang out with my friends they’re always drinking, which i don’t do, because i’m on pills.

lots of pills, pills to sleep, pills to wake up, pills to dull the pain, pills to be numb… it’s ok, i have a prescription….

but for a while i got off them. because i ran out

but the other day i found some codiene and i took it, with other stuff… and in my spnish class it started kicking in…

and i felt… complete…

which is terrible because lately i’ve been hella down because collectively every joint, organ, every part of my body has basiclly gone “**** you” and just hurts, not like, oh, i worked out too much and now i’m sore, like, i think every ligament in my just snapped as i was sitting here.i didn’t do anything and it just started hurting. plus i’ve been super worn out because i can’t sleep and i get up at five every day.

but only after taking more than the recommended dose of pills did i feel not extremely ****ed up…

and i know that’s what they’re supposed to do… but addiction runs in my family and i don’t want to be strung out and die…
