We Saved Each Other From Addiction | Sarah Hiscox “I Wouldn’t Be Alive Without You”
"I imposed this very strict rule on myself that I would use 3 days on, 3 days off, because somebody told me— not a doctor, obviously— um, that the baby wouldn't be born addicted to heroin. So that's what I did. And it was those 3 days off, all I could think about was those 3 days on. And then the 3 days on were just filled with this awful guilt, this terrible guilt of like, you know, who are you?"
In a raw confession, Sarah Hiscox revealed she used heroin throughout her pregnancy with her second son Beach, following a non-medical 3-days-on, 3-days-off pattern in hopes the baby wouldn't be born addicted. She describes the experience as filled with overwhelming guilt and questions why the love for her children wasn't enough to stop her.
