Excerpt from Those Who Have Come Back
With this unsuspected habit burrowing deeper and deeper into my life, I grew to womanhood and married. I loved my husband and my children; I loved books and horses and motoring. I belonged to clubs and a church. I had an interest in philanthropic matters. I gossiped, I danced, I played golf. Sometimes I think I even did fancy-work. Despite the periodical headaches, I lived a generally active life and was happy - yes, I think I may say very happy, until one very terrible day when a great tragedy came into my life.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In an era when drug addiction was seldom understood or treated, this book presents the moving and harrowing tale of a woman's ten-year struggle with morphine addiction. The author, a woman of social standing and refinement, recounts how this addiction gripped her, brought her to the depths of despair, and finally drove her to attempt suicide. Only through the intervention of her family was she saved from death's embrace. The author's story illustrates the horrors of addiction in unflinching detail, exposing the physical and psychological torment it inflicts. Her journey to recovery is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of hope.
