Lying All The Way To The Bottom: "Strung Out"

We hear about people who got strung out on drugs when they become statistics, like when they die of drug overdoses. 

Erin Khar offers up a personal story of addiction: her own.  Khar had a happy and enviable childhood, but got into drugs when she was 13. 

She spent the next decade and a half addicted to painkillers and ultimately, heroin.  The story is told in Khar's book .  We hear what it took to finally get sober and stay that way for an extended period.
