Jason Smith, the author of The Bitter Taste of Dying, takes us through 16 years of addiction to prescription drugs more powerful than heroin and morphine. During High School Jason get's into a car accident and is prescribed Norco and Soma for pain relief and overnight becomes addicted to painkillers. After college in order to get off of the pills his doctor prescribes a time release patch called Fentanyl that takes him to the bottom of all bottoms. Jason overdoes 6 times, ends up in a Mexican jail trying to score drugs and ultimately attempts suicide when all hope is lost. It’s an incredible story of survival and an inspirational story of recovery and hope.
