Hey,
I'm autumn and I'm addicted to sleep aids and pretty much anything that will know me out. It started after a brutal attack and rape 9 years ago. The doctors started me off with sedative and I took if from there. I know I need to get into a detox, but (that infamous but) I am still struggling with the WANT part.
Today I woke up lethargic as usual and decided this was the day I started down the road to get help.... Lord know I know enough about detox,12 step programs, etc being the child of an alcoholic, the ex-spouse of a cross addicted man, but none of that knowledge or experiences come into play at 9 o'clock at night - when I need to put down sleeping pills (or anything that will work) - that will kick in faster if I eat, that will know me out cold. This is the first step to my long journey - I have admitted I have a problem.
