Health Issue Caused From Past?

A month prior to age 19, I found myself hooked on pain meds. I do NOT need a rant, I do not need to hear what I did wrong and how stupid I was.

I started anywhere from one loritab 10-500 every few hours and by the time I was admitted into rehab I was easily taking 48 10-500’s a day. I began mixing xanax, etc… Regardless, I HAVE BEEN SOBER NOW FOR OVER 1 YEAR.
