- Candidate: Tamera
- Length: 30 seconds
On-screen text: Prescription opioids can be addictive and dangerous.
Tamera: Nothing mattered more than getting my fix. I was on the verge of being homeless. My house was being foreclosed on. It took everything that I had. Knowing that I did this to myself, that it could have been prevented, makes it worse.
Audio description: Tamera looks at herself in the mirror.
Tamera: It just takes one.
On-screen text: It only takes a little to lose a lot. CDC.gov/RxAwareness
