They told me my intake of oxycontin was equal to a 10 year heroin addict! Here is my question- when I would go on my Xanax "black out" without really knowing I was doing it- I was functiong, talking, working, driving but my body was telling me that I needed more. Do you think MJ was in a Xanax blackout thinking that he really needed more to sleep- his brain telling him this, but his body really was in a state of "sleep"? As you know addicts get very irrate and turn pursuasive to get what they think their brain is telling them what they need. Sadly- I used to walk around in these Xanax induced "black outs" and by the grace of God no one was hurt physical but I did do some damage to my best friends- not remembering what I said and all- I could put some pieces of convesation during those dark moments, but who would want to take that chance with me again? I thank my GOD and I thank my family for staying by my side and helping the little girl in me heal and grow up. Thank you Dr. Pinksy for all your hard work and the blessings you bestoe on others- you will have a special place in heaven!! Truly yours in recovery!
