My ordeal with pills

Ever since that threatening yet funny experience with drugs, I always ensure to stay away and not do too much as if I studied medicine. 😊

My experience with taking excessive drug taught me never to underestimate the power of any drugs no matter how tiny it may look and here is why. When I was much younger, first it was abusing sleeping pills not that the drug was prescribed to me but to my aunt. She was staying with us at that time and then fell ill. Part of the drugs she was to consume contain sleeping pills since she was having difficulty to sleep not like she had insomnia from start but with her condition finds it difficult to sleep. I truly love the way after taking the sleeping pill that was divided into two equal part makes her catch some sleep for a while and regain back herself cause she sure need the rest.

Me on the other hand because of my naiveness I said to myself I was going to also take the pill. I pleaded with my aunt to give me the tablet but she said I was fine. I know am fine but I still want to sleep for long I said but no was the answer. Behind her back, I opened the sleeping pill and consumed one whole tablet for something my aunt used to divide hers. Well I did fall asleep but not the way I planned it.

It was noon I took the tablet after launch so I slept from afternoon and when it was time for dinner my mom thinking it was an ordinary sleep was not aware i was in another realm so she called and called my name to come get my food but to no avail so she had to send my brother's to wake me up but i wasn't getting up and when my brothers told her, she didn't bother much cause she knows how much I love sleep. When it was getting late and I didn't get up that was when everyone became alert. Whenever they wake me up it's from one fear to another. My Daddy quickly called his doctor friend and just when he saw me he knew what was wrong and just smiled. Told them to leave me that I would be fine and instructed them on what to do when am finally up .

To cut the whole experience short, after I recovered fully I received the beating of my life from my mom and ever since then I never tried administering drugs to myself and do you know rather for me to be strong when I woke I felt so week and it took me a long while to come back to myself and this has been my worst experience with the use of drugs.
