Real addiction stories (12th edition) No description found
This is the 12th edition of an ongoing series of real stories about addiction from ClickOnDetroit's readers.
Check back for more stories.
My name is Nicole. Almost a year ago on July 28 my fiancé and I were found in a car on Greenfield Road. We were sober for 7 years and when we ran into someone named "Robert" he gave us a sample right away. It's pretty hard to say no when it's literally given to you.
Well, I woke up the next day in Sinai-Grace Hospital. The first thing the doctor said to me was, "The young man you were with didn't make it."
My heart sunk. We were in that car for 5 hours before a random ambulance drove by and saw us. My fiancé was dead on the scene. We were together 12 years, living the life on Walled Lake with our 5-year-old daughter.
This can happen to anyone of any background, any education level, any income bracket you fall in.
-- Nicole K. Strobel
