Grateful………………..12/19/2011
A little over a year ago my life was a disaster. Even though I was a working professional with a college degree, I had become addicted to prescription pain medications…Percocet, Lorcet, Oxycodone, etc. I began making decisions totally outside of my character, not only was I in jeopardy of losing my job, I was also about to lose my family. My husband enrolled me in a detox program at Wellstar Cobb Hospital. Upon discharge from the program, I was referred to Dr. Oyebanjo (hereinafter referred to as Dr. O). I was very unsure what to expect of Dr. O because I had always heard bad things about psychiatrics. Boy was I in for a delightful surprise! Dr. O was the exact opposite of the horror stories that I had been told of other psychiatrics.
This lady genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her patients. She is always there for me even during non-business hours. I have been clean for over a year and I owe it all to Dr. O and The Potter’s Behavioral Medicine Clinic! At The Potter’s Behavioral Medicine Clinic There are so many resources available and so many caring people to help you along your journey. Dr. O is not just my doctor, I consider her family. Her bedside manners are the best I have ever experienced. She has helped me get to the root of my addiction and she continues to help in every way possible. My life continues to progress beyond my best dreams. Dr. O and the staff at The Potter’s Behavioral Medicine Clinic are lifesavers and I would not hesitate recommending them to others in need.
If you are an addict and you sincerely want a better life for yourself, schedule an appointment with Dr. O…..you can thank me later.
God Bless!

I have struggled with pain pill addiction for almost 9 years. Quitting was not an option for me. I tried in the past and could not handle the awful, horrific withdrawals. I would become so sick that I felt as if I were dying. I could not function without the opiods being in my system. I knew just as soon as I could get a few pills in my system, I would feel "all right" again. I was tired of living this kind of life; spending all my money, pawning items that really meant something to me, lying to my family....it didn't matter. When I didn't have pain pills, the only thing that did matter was getting more; regardless of the consequences. My desperation took control! This was not the life I wanted, but I was stuck and felt hopeless. I was trapped with no way out.
That was then......it's now October 25, 2011 and I have been clean for 68 days!!!!!!!! I found hope on August 19, 2011 when I went to see Dr. Oyebanjo-Popoola. I thank God for her and for my treatment team; Mark and Kristi. Together we have gone far, simply taking one day at a time. They have given me my life back!!
How about you? Are you ready to take your life back?
Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Staying clean and loving life!
