What addicts don't realize about pain meds....
NSAIDS over long term are much more effective for pain than narcotic pain pills.
Narcotic pain pills are for instant temporary relief and severe pain such as cancer patients etc......
you have a whole in your foot thats real but the addition in you will try to justify that you now have a legitamate reason to use again......fight that and take a couple of Motrin 800's or something..tough it out the pain will go away....
It is good that your going to the doctor for your neck pain......your on the right track girl.....keep your focus......
Your doing great...................stay strong.......
Are you going to N/A or some other support group or conselor.......
I also attempted to find a therapist of some sort but where I live there are not many that don't just hand out pills... talk therapy isn't the norm around here I was told.. There are only 3 docs and they don't take insurance only cash and it was quite expensive.. so I am gonna keep looking..
Hopefully the chiro will get me back on track.. with the wedding and everything I got off of my normal schedule of going..
As far as the pain in my foot... I am not worried I will take narcotics.. I was worried that the pain would produce cravings.. I have been lucky not to have any..
Stay off your feet and watch some good movies!
Peace,
Marcie
