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.

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.
