Overview

Over 10 million Americans each year experience irresistible triggers from Opioids, over-the-counter medicines, and other prescription drug addictions. The impact it has on friends and family can tear them apart to the breaking point, according to Cindy Rae Mogil-Cooley, founder of Prescriptions Anonymous. Swallowing A Bitter Pill, How Prescription and Over-The-Counter Drug Abuse is Ruining Lives - My Story is a moving account by the author on the prescription addiction process at different stages. After accidentally killing a young man in 1973 while driving sober at the time, Mogil-Cooley began abusing multiple mood-altering prescriptions for nearly 20 years never sharing her traumatic story to a therapist for several years until 1997 when she finally received the treatment therapy she desperately needed and began her process of recovery. Drawing upon her experiences, Mogil-Cooley gives readers' rehabilitation facility resources; how to recognize your own drug addiction or that of a loved one and make an informed action plan for their recovery. Speaking about the book, the author, Mogil-Cooley- an advocate and key-note speaker to healthcare professionals, the pharmaceutical industry, support groups, and state legislatures said, ""It is quite rare to find someone talking about the prescription addiction journey. My second edition book gives current statistical information that tells readers how Opioids and other mood-altering prescriptions are addicting thousands and killing others. Don't lose hope. My new book gives first-hand information based on my own experiences and that of other recovering prescription abusers.

"Dear Ms. Mogil-Cooley, I just finished reading your 2019 new book ""Swallowing a Bitter Pill"". It was like I was reading an autobiography of myself. My family and husband read your book also and found so many answers to questions about living with a recovering pill addict and gaining knowledge through support groups for family guidance on how to reconnect all of us after my treatment in rehabilitation; rebuilding trust through support and not trying to ""fix me"". It was comforting to know that there are questions, concerns and deep feelings exactly like mine throughout your book. I feel as though your book has given me EVEN MORE determination in my recovery! ​ML Pueblo, CO ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Ms. Cooley, Thank you for introducing me to your website and your 2019 book ""Swallowing A Bitter Pill."" I have been in recovery from multiple addictions for 36 years and finding a resource specific to prescription drug dependence was a welcome sight. Having associated with many recovering addicts and alcoholics for years I assert that information in your book can be especially helpful with the increase in opiate prescription drugs we are currently witnessing. Best wishes with your book and addiction recovery coaching programs. Best wishes to anyone utilizing this and any other resource that helps one find a way out of addiction.

I've had an addiction to prescription medications for almost 10 years. I have tried getting off pain medications for ever but never seem to make it past the 3rd day of withdrawals and anxiety. Your book has given me hope where I didn't have any for many years and didn't know where to turn for support or guidance. Thank you for helping millions of others reclaim their lives and stay in recovery.
