Quotes by Cathryn Kemp (?)

“I used to think a drug addict was someone who lived on the far edges of society. Wild-eyed, shaven-headed and living in a filthy squat.

― Cathryn Kemp, Painkiller Addict: From Wreckage to Redemption - My True Story

“And I was – still am – in a state of permanent terror that the pancreatitis may return. I still have nightmares about hospital and it is two years since my last admission.

No wonder I tried to run from those damaging memories into the arms of mother opiate. Charlie”
