Cross-posting this for a friend from Ao3 :) Spencer is still in recovery from the Tobias Hankel incident, and from the subsequent months of addiction and chaos after. During his fight with the awful withdrawal symptoms and terrifying nightmares, he completely loses sight of certain day-to-day things that are vitally important to his health. No copyright intended!

Drugs seem to be his only escape, his only way out. After his ordeal with Tobias Hankel, Reid turns to drugs to relieve his sufferings, only to find that he has entrenched himself in a whole new world of pain and sorrow.

MATURE THEMES AND TRIGGER WARNING(MENTION OF RAPE) 3PhD's couldn't prepare Dr. Spencer Reid for whats about to happen.

Spencer Reid finds himself in the hospital after being poisoned by an UnSub.

***TRIGGER WARNING*** At some point this story talks about domestic violence, hostages, kidnapping, eating disorders. As well as drug use, panic attacks, depression. There is probably some other warnings but if you watch criminal minds it's nothing you haven't heard before. Much love. "Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to."

After Maeve's death, Reid can't handle the pain of her going. So he turns to the one thing he used to forget his emotions. Dilaudid, the drug once given to him from Tobias Hankel when he was kidnapped, he fought his addiction, but the craving was coming back.
