THANKS

[JACEM5]

I wanted to take this time to post a thank you to all that supported me,all the comments,and everyone who took the time to read and reply to my posts.Everything is well,my meds are safely locked away,my DR and I are on the same page,I'm sleeping better,and overall feeling good about myself.I must say I have gotten more help,information and support her in less than a month then I have with years of professional treatment.EVERYONE here who helped me and helps others pat yourselves on the back today for me.If you guys you right scrips I'd have no need to go anywhere else.Now I just need to work on the physcological issues and everything will be perfect,Thank you all again and I will continue to post and help others when I can.

I was going to agree, just post it here as I believe that our child abuse is so the reason for us deriving the warm fuzzies from the pills since we never got it from our families.

There are several of us here with the childhood issue, me included.    Feel free to discuss it and perhaps we can all help with what it is we have in common that way as well.

I have been in counseling for 15 years over my abuse but this board is much more helpful.    You have to BE an addict to UNDERSTAND an addict!!!

In my humble opinion, here is as good a place as any.  This is an addiction forum and this should not mean that we only talk about the dope and the meetings and the using and the stopping.   ALL of us have underlying reasons that forced us to seek escapist behavior in the first place.  You may have noticed that I have posted some of my early abuse issues, as they most certainly ARE at least the 1st reasons in my life to escape.   Now I am facing, addressing, and soon I hope forgiving.  The forgiving is the hard part......We do that for US not for the creeps that abused us.  There are things about my step father and my mother that were good too.  They loved my kids, never abused them, and my kids loved them.  I have always been honest with my kids so they know about my own childhood, but I won't destroy any good feelings that my kids can have about my parents.

Well, there is a new "journal" function on here. You could post it there. Or just put it up here. Their seems to be a flexibility to this forum that allows for digression.

Now that you're on your way, you can turn around and tell your story to newbies, give them some hope for their own future.

PS,as much as my therapist and psychatrist try to help I'm strongly considering posting my story here,since there are so many with so much knowledge,I'm just not sure which forum to use for childhood trauma's and abuse.

Thank you.I am very proud,they are what keep me so motivated.My wife is the same,she got her script so there is nothing that is going to reach her because right now she's on top of the world.Like I said though my meds are locked up,Ive told her I won't be giving her anymore,so we will have to see.Right now I have to work on my phsycological stuff very hard,to make sure I'm strong enough in case I have to move on with out her until she finds what ever it is she is looking for.Right now she has a loving husband and 3 fantastic,beautiful children and that dosen't seem to be enough.I know she asked her DR for an increase and he said when she does the PT he asked her to do over 6 mos ago he will she where she is at.I honestly think she's afraid to here she's better because she is so dependent on the meds.We will just have to wait ans see and hope for the best.
