No one knows or can understand an addict, like an addict....

I am sure your family loves you and cares about you a great deal. Just please be proud of YOU, as we, your forum family, are so very proud of you also...

You are right. So many of our loved ones have no idea how many people suffer with this and most in silence. I'm glad to hear your hubby is doing well also.

You are more than welcome to any advice and all the support I have to offer.  I apologize if I seemed pushy when answering your post on this subject last week.  I fit into my family like socks on a rooster, and envy those who have a true family right at their fingertips.  Never underestimate what your family can tolerate and help with.  More times than not they will love you past your pain.

I'm so proud of you, you and your husband both are doing so well.  How long was it before you were feeling better?  I'm on Day 5, although if you read my post below, I had some cough syrup with some codiene in it.  I don't think it was a lot, but an opiate all the same.  I still feel pretty rotten,, can't eat, and can't keep anything down.
Anyway enough about me.   I've been reading your posts all along this weekend and think it's just amazing what you have been through with your family.  It would be so awesome if all families could be that honest with each other.  I know it started pretty rough, but sounds like it ended well for everyone.  Keep up the good work, you have been such an inspiration to me to do this myself.
