Katlyn, Your life has barely begun! The great thing is that you realize this drug has done damage. However, you are young and can definitely quit these devils, with a strong will and a good program and support network. Your life hasn’t even really begun, and it won’t until you get off of them and stay off of them. You will have a rough 2-3 month period and then the work really begins! Going through the rest of your life as a sober individual will be the hardest AND most rewarding thing you could ever do. You won’t have to rely on a pill to feel “normal” and you will experience life in all its true glory, not deadened by the drug. Music, nature, friendships, family and everything else (not the least of which should be your continuing education) will take on a new realism and sharpness that can be terrifying and wonderful, sometimes all at once. Staying on them will lead down only one path, getting clean will open up a giant array of options for you. YOU CAN DO IT!

One of the waitresses where I work looks like she is doing opiates. She has been to a 30 day inpatient rehab center but her eyes looked glossed over all the time and she says she takes meds for back pain. I am not sure if I should confront her or how to hint that she may be more addicted than she thinks.
