Truly he does, doesn't he. Congratulations, a brand new reason to add to a list of reason to remove those pills from your life.
Shorty, you weren't here yet when i posted this, but I want you to go way down the page and read the letter my daughter sent to me. The post is called TO ALL WHO HAVE CHILDREN...SAPPY. Read that, and then think about your new clean life.
A baby...so precious, you are BLESSED!!!!

I am not an addict, but someone in the medical field with a strong interest in addiction.  I have been reading some of these posts, after finding this forum through the Anxiety forum (I suffer from panic disorder).  Anyway, I just wanted to write to tell you congratulations on your news!  I am thrilled that you have made it through the tough first days of detox, and am confident that you will be successful, especially with a little life depending on it--that's what make me quit smoking weed many years ago......what I wanted to say, is that you might want to really consider finding a good therapist to help you through this transition, and be a solid support.  It is such a difficult thing to do what you are doing, and you are to be commended.  The thing is, that everyone always says that relapse is part of recovery, and you can see for yourself in this forum how true that is.  The problem is, you no longer have the option of relapsing.  It may even turn out to be more difficult physically to stay clean, because pregnancy wreaks havoc, and you will probably feel like **** for a few months.  Stay strong, remember that you would never forgive yourself if your child were born with issues that were within your control, and utilize any available resources.  God bless.
