Submit your own Oxycontin Addiction Story
Oxycontin is a fool’s paradise when not taken properly. People addicted to oxycontin can tell you, a lot of them started out simply taking a pain killer prescribed by their doctor due to a back problem or ailment, or perhaps an injury caused through a car accident or getting hurt at work or home. When the brain is introduced to oxycontin, it gets excited and thrilled that the pain the body has been feeling is subsiding. Unfortunately, the brain
becomes selfish and self-indulgent and begins to send mixed messages in order to get the pain reliever in higher and quicker dosages than the body should have it. This is how addiction to oxycontin begins.
Does this sound familiar? Perhaps you have gone through this. You were just a normal, every day person when you found yourself physically injured in some way.
