no one willingly walks into an addiction or even sees it coming , '' he began.you believe that doctors know what they are doing , and if you feel some relief as a result of what they prescribe , you arent likely to question the solution.i think that sedatives are the deadliest of all the addictive substances because as they are slowly and systematically altering your brain , you feel nothing.i didnt feel one moment of discomfort or dependence.alcoholics and cocaine addicts can see the effect the substance is having on them.sedative addicts see and feel no change , except the ability to sleep at night.the reality of what has happened to us doesnt hit us until after the damage is done.we are outraged at the doctors that kept prescribing the poison to us month after month.we are furious at a government organization that has failed to warn or protect us.we are baffled at how the drug companies have managed to get away with this for so long.but we are most of all humbled by the whole experience .
