description I knew Iwas an addict.By 1992,I was taking 10 or 15 pills a day. I was taking pills that were prescribed to me and pills that were not prescribed to me. Believe me, they're easy to get.

Also, I had handy access to pills through the American Voluntary Medical Team, the relief organization I founded, and I thought was crafty enough to steal them and not have anyone know.
