Experience Description I took too much Vicodin and overdosed in my car with my ex-husband there. I said, "Call 911, I'm overdosing" and lost consciousness. I was feeling my body; but I was also watching myself until I was in a beautiful ocean cave with the moon shining. My boyfriend had been shot in front of me and was dead. He was there in this place with me. He said that I can chill for a bit, but I have to go back. He told me I had to find my twins and my daughter needs me. I have kids waiting to be born. He said that, "You still have many things to accomplish. It's simply not your time." I saw the police giving me Narcan and then went back to my body. I was so excited that I had seen my friend. This experience was an accidental overdose and the last time I ever had opioids. I had a baby a year and a half later and even refused the pain medications. I found my twins too.
