Book excerpt: An automobile accident started Ken Start's fifteen-year prescription drug addiction cycle. Taking handfuls of pills off and on during the day, he was often high, passed out, or throwing up in the toilet. He did whatever it took to buy or steal what he wanted and needed the most--drugs. He never thought about those he was hurting and continued to destroy the trust once shared with his loved ones. In rehabilitation clinics, he learned how to manipulate doctors into giving him more--and better--drugs. He was living in total denial of his addiction to prescription drugs--until the whisper of suicide got louder.A Prescription for Addiction is this author's journey through a life-changing auto accident, multiple surgeries, addiction to drugs and alcohol, manipulation of medical professionals, chronic pain and the miracle of a hard fought recovery.
