'A brave, heartfelt and extraordinary book' Corinne Sweet, author
of Overcoming Addiction, psychologist and broadcaster What if the
drugs that were meant to cure you slowly started to kill you? After
falling dangerously ill with acute-on-chronic pancreatitis, Cathryn
Kemp left hospital with a repeat prescription for fentanyl, a
painkiller 100 times stronger than heroin. Within two years she was
taking almost ten times the NHS maximum daily dose - all on
prescription - and her life began to spiral out of control. Cathryn
discovered she had just three months to live, unless she gave up
the drug she clung to so desperately. After selling everything she
owned and checking into rehab, Cathryn was told by the doctors that
recovery was highly unlikely. Yet to everyone's amazement, she
proved them wrong. Coming Clean is a poignant, vivid and honest
memoir of a woman's struggle with, and subsequent victory over, her
demons. It is a love story, a horror story, a survival story, and
one that shows the very real dangers of the over-prescription of
painkillers.
