At the age 23 I struggled with my horrible addiction of heroin I had tried to stop but its not easy. Going almost four years being addicted to the devil I had many complications and several hospital visits sometimes it was 3-4 days then it could have been weeks as I lay there miserable,in constant pain due to absects from where I just didn't care sometimes and shot up where ever and there would be times that I'd miss I remember several visits to the hospital direct admits to the ICU unit.. The infection was so bad they would have to treat me with antibiotics for atleast 4-5 days then they would have to lance the site of where I injected that meant more antibiotics eventually when I would be sick the hospital would treat me like a piece of crap discriminate and judge me,reminder I'm not there for drugs. Honesty I don't know what all happened I just know I had been sick for a week or two and my parents call 911 to come get me they take me to the hospital I was so sick that phenoium turned into septic shut down all my organs I had flat lined several times so I was life lined to a hospital in Indianapolis Indiana!!
