i havent posted in quite some time. But i am going through a hard time. I am on day 2 of withdrawal form mostly oxy's and vic hp's. but anything i could get my hands on worked fine. I have degenerative disc disease. The depression while going through w'd's is awful for me. i just really need to here some postive feed back and hear that it's all worth it.

i spent alot of time in the rooms of NA and even made it to my 8th year clean and then relapsed...
i have 4 months clean today and am so damn happy and grateful... i chose NOT to go back to NA b/c if i failed again in staying clean the NA way i didn't want to have to go through the whole "chip" thing and feel so ashamed etc... i know, can't save your ass and your face at the same time! i know all the slogans before anyone slams me with them! lol!!
it amazes me the type of fellowship that there is between the people on this board. it means a great deal to me to have found this board and i plan to use it to help me to stay clean and help me even if i don't. i appreciate the anonimity here online...
thanks,
amber
Oh well I finally decided this beast has become much more trouble than its worth (I almost lost my husband last week due to my rx drug addiction) Sooo a decision had to be made and I am going to do everything it takes to defeat this addiction! Keep posting you will find a group of wonderful caring people on this forum willing to help! Good Luck I'm looking forward to the day I have been hydro free for 4 months!--Peace/Prayers N.O. Lady-AKA

Every doc who ever knew or suspected I was an addict told me I could NEVER take pain meds again or, at the very least, didn't deserve to. At no extra charge, some docs threw in the implication or outright pronouncement that I was a very bad man, a parasite on the ass of humanity, and a stain on the tapestry of western civilization.
I think I became an addict too soon, or just picked the wrong town.

Does anyone think I should switch to valium , even now that I have been on lorazepam for almost 3 weeks? I will ask the doctor, but I am almost sure he will say no. He's a real *****...makes me do urine tests for no apparent reason. I am not a drug addict, but they treat me like one...I think more information about the potential for addiction to benzos needs to be out there for people who suffer from depression or anxiety...too widely prescribed and too easy to get...never start and you are better off!
