Narrator: Mothers everywhere are suffering from these monstrous addictions that do nothing but eat away at you. These women are so addicted to these drugs that they don’t even stop to think about the harm they are causing their children.
Woman: I was addicted to heroin when I fell pregnant to my daughter. At that point I was so addicted to the drug that I really just couldn’t stop. It’s like nothing mattered but getting my fix. I never even thought about what could be happening to my baby. I look back now, shamefully, and

thank God every day that my daughter is alive and well and healthy as can be. When she first came out the womb she was screaming bloody murder. Withdraw had already started, for the both of us. I had been in labor almost ten hours and I could feel the cold sweats, I could feel my head pounding, my body would shake uncontrollably. But that wasn’t the worse, the worst part was the same thing was happening to my child.
Pauses for a second.
Woman: As soon as she came out of my womb I could feel her legs kicking uncontrollably, her screams terrorized the hospital hallways. She was in that hospital two months, starting life off in rehab. She had terrible sleep patterns, she was hardly eating. It seemed like forever before she got better. But that’s what helped me get better. I did it for her.
