What's heroin addiction feel like?:
Eric became addicted to opioids as a teenager when his mother was fighting cancer. He started taking her pills to ease his worry and depression over her illness. While in college, Eric's mother died. He no longer had access to her pills so he turned to heroin. Eric says his addiction eventually became so bad, he attempted to take his own life. He explains the desperation and hopelessness that came with his addiction and his gratitude for surviving so he could get clean.
