The Bondage of Addiction
Today I choose freedom over the bondage of addiction.
Day #8 for me, after a failed taper then c/t off asst. pain killers & benzos.
A big thanks to everyone on here who has helped me, and that includes EVERYONE posting about their struggles with addiction...even the ridiculous controversies have kept me reading, which, even though I've been appalled at times, I've come to recognize they've kept me occupied and away from thoughts of using (the rewards of this forum come in many surprising packages!)...
A special thanks to Lil Rab, Marce, Mariyah, Avis, Fladdict; You all have particularly helped and inspired me from the Get-Go. There are more of you no doubt, but these folks come to mind at the moment...
Blessings to You All,

PS. I had a rough day yesterday and binged all daylong BIG TIME on a truckload of candy--laid all day on my couch watching bad TV, had crazy thoughts all day, felt sorry for myself, BUT DID NOT USE! Best of all, today feels TOTALLY different....It's true, that saying: "This Too Shall Pass". Thank Goodness.
