 I was given a prescription opioid pain medication, and within only a few months, I was completely addicted. I lost everything. I had to leave school and start playing sports in college, and I started to watch my life slip away. I want people to know that these drugs are addictive. One prescription can be all it takes to lose everything. Prescription opioids. It only takes a little to lose a lot. Visit cdc.gov slash rxawareness.
