Pharmacy pills can be addictive
I know this because I had to go through an very difficult experience with my mom. Of course it was her fault and not the drugstore pharmacy pills. She had always been a very conflictive and depressive person and ever since I was very little I had to deal with all her issues. My father left when I was just a baby and there were only the two of us left to support each other, so no matter how difficult things got, I felt like I had always had to be there for my mother because she was there for me, at least she didn’t leave me too when I was a baby. But no situation was harder than this time when she became addicted to drugstore pharmacy pills. It all began when she started having trouble sleeping. She was awake all night long for many nights. Our house was very little so I could feel her all night long walking around, listening to music, cursing at many men including my father, and smoking around the house.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t sleep so she would have some tea and wait in her bed until she would fall asleep, she just wouldn’t care to sleep so all night long she would walk around the house and not let me sleep. Sometimes she would get some sleep but only for a couple of hours. She looked like a zombie. One day I suggested she went to the pharmacy and get some sleeping pills. She went to the drugstore pharmacy and came back with these pharmacy pills she was very happy about because they would let her sleep. She took them and for that night she slept like a baby. They were good for some time until I started to notice she had started taking a higher dose. Then she would take them during the day too. I saw that she had a problem one day that she was out of her sleeping pharmacy pills and she was so angry about this so she threw a plate to me.
She would get very violent whenever she wouldn’t have her pharmacy pills and whenever she would get them she would kiss them and frantically talk about how much she loved her babies and how much she’d missed them. Then she would pop a few of these pharmacy pills and wouldn’t even go to sleep anymore, they would now only work to tranquilize her. I tried to make her see she had a problem but whenever I would talk to her about her pharmacy pills she would just insult me. I decided I couldn’t live with this anymore so I went to Narcotics Anonymous. They told me that dependence to pharmacy pills was seen very often but just because of this it didn’t mean it was any less serious than any addiction. My mom had to be treated in a clinic for her pharmacy pills addiction and she is not to visit a drug-store pharmacy anymore.
