I'm addicted to a prescription medication.

I literally have to be on it for medical reasons, but I ended up abusing it.

I am in chains, and I don't want to be anymore.

I want to be free.

I need to take my medication normally, and not abuse it. If I don't stop abusing it, I will lose the things in life that I care most about.
The friends I've known for so long, the small bit of success that I dream of, and the woman I love, even though she doesn't know yet that I do.

If I don't stop this, all of those things will disappear.

I need help...
I need this to be the day I finally say no, and don't give in, and cut away the chains.
