Demerol pulls you back. No matter how much you want to quit, no matter how strong you think you are: Demerol pulls you back. Every time. The thing about prescription drug addiction is that you can’t beat it by yourself; you can’t quit using on your own, for the simple reason that the Need won’t let you. That’s how it was with me, anyway, with Demerol. There was always the Need, always the Wanting. And then I got professional help. And it was the best thing I ever did.

Prescription drug addiction treatment works by helping you get free: of the drug, of your desire for it. Drug treatment helps you rediscover yourself, when you really get down to it, by giving you the strength to choose to Say No. Demerol addiction ruined my life. Rehab fixed what was broken. And that, I think, is just about all I can say on the subject.

Prescription drug addiction treatment worked for me, that’s what matters. It can work for you too, if you let it, and if you have the courage to take the first step. For you own sake, make today the day you start walking. Some journeys are too important to put off until tomorrow.
