  • Length: 30 seconds

David: I had been taking probably seven, eight hundred milligrams of opioids a day, which is an insane amount.

Narrator: David is in recovery from an addiction to prescription opioids.

David: Eventually, my whole life began to unravel. I realized I needed help. In recovery, I found my purpose. Addiction is a disease of isolation and loneliness. There is a way out. You don't have to do this alone.

Narrator: If you or someone you know is struggling, there is hope. Recovery is possible. Visit cdc.gov/RxAwareness.
