Vicodin, Dramamine,

[concerneddaugherinlaw]

My mother in law was taking 2 vicodin es along with 4 dramamine every 4 hours all day long.  The doctor has now diagnosed her with "chronic pain" and is giving her pain patches.  Will she still withdraw from the vicodin if she quits taking it?

LOL.. the dawg w/ the pedigree name(s): Don't Do That Dawg.. are in from the *****, err *****.. Dumbass I waited 'til the frickin breeze died before takin Pup to terrorize the tourons.

So, the no-see-ums: IE.. gnats.. were out in force.

I am thrilled as fricken heck that motz still follows this board. If he helped save me, he can save anyone.

I haven't the balls Iliterrally or figuratively) to post on the exclusive DA.Com

If ya aint a F user, then yr "toast' as far as I can read.

Motz is Da Man tho. He may be Da Man, but they sure as heck post the Thomas Receipt there. (and that'z yet anudder Man)

Anyhoo, My En, my Peaz, more power to u.. make sure u buy one of those Stinkin', major stink Bomb, pefumes/colognes along w/ the single Godiva (DON'T, pls, buy a "G" Godiva. Those are the best) Toffeee and choc... Mmmmm) as yr TY to the jerkwad Sponsor.

BTW, it's ALLLLLL in the way u tie the ribbon (on a gift). That much I learned from Mama. Bless Her.

I can give u tips e-mail if u have never tied a homemade ribbon before.. one can make the shabbiest (our goal, yes?) of gifts look like a bezillion dollars.

If you and I think DA.com is a POS, maybe we shld play some mind games there.

OOps sry, tht's my pre-Vike Days bellowing.

Seya, En

ROFL

OMG I can't believe your sponsor.  Give me her email so I can cut and paste all the encouraging emails and post you have wrtten to me over the past six months then she can decide who is doing what to who.  Justkidding.  I just can't help but think that she really doesn't know you at all.  She doesn't know the true Peaz otherwise she would never even think that you would drink or use or whatever.  You have your own mind and thoughts and feelings that are different from what she thinks they should be is all.  Where did she get drinking from that?  Pammy

An atlas!! You wrote a freaking ATLAS!! LOL  There were so many things to comment on it will take overnight to collect my thoughts (Not quite as swift on the uptake as the pre vicodin days...  :-)  But I did want to just say, now, that I was trated like a leper at DA.Com (General board) when I tried posting there a year ago.  I lurked forever, and finally got the nerve to post some innocuous post.....FINALLY a guy answered me, and the next post was from one of the groupie chicks that dwell there, saying,"  Numb Nuts!! (insert his name here) I thought we decided we WEREN'T going to answer!! " or something along those lines....I snickered, and posted for  maybe a few weeks longer, but rarely got any replies or even acknowlegement that I had even POSTED>>>>>I was going back and forth from there to here; eventually began posting here, and the rest is history.  What a buncha fucken SNOBS....If that's their idea of compassionate recovery, I hope I never stumble upon it....It's not like I'm some subversive who comes in, making a lot of trouble!!  Their loss------Just say NO!!  Don't go back!!  LOL  I shall return...Peazy

Couldn't 4-get u, chezz.. and I am gonna log off and leave for the beach w/ Pup before I remember the myriads of other wonderful people I neglected to mention. PLEASE, i am sorry. I shuldna started w/ such an impossible task.. listing names.

That aside: There should be a law about posting here, and then Just leaving, leaving the caring readers wondering and hoping things turned out for the best.

As Always,
rwc!

Peaz, Book Luvahs, All~

I got this link (posted below, a link to the Frey book) from DA.com which is where many posters seem, imo, to bash anyone not part of "the club." Currently, they are bashing a "handle" named "Motz" who is quite (brutally) honest, but honest in a "fair/nice way, if u can follow.

And BTW, he seems NOT to be an A/A convert. OOOO! Is it is almost shameful? Seriously, what's shameful is the bashing he is receiving. I do follow the histrionics there, both on their support board, and on their DA.com general board. He is getting grief both places. Poor baby. He has posted here, and I must say is one (a STRONG one/reason) of several thousand reasons I decided to get straight, or rather try to.

I like Truth and not "steps." Besides, and most importantly, I was ready for Truth. He gave it to me, here and via e-mail. That aside, being you won't have any idea WTF I am saying, at least it is off my chest.

It's a shame the way some boards are so cliquish, while this one (board) embraces all posters with open arms (even those who wrench my heart and then disappear, like, say, LadyLamp).

OK. Enough from the "committee" (the committee being my brain, or former brain) Speaking of my lack of brain power, it was days before I realized Thomas 50 and Thomas 03 were not the same person! I was weeping because our stalwart Thomas had returned to using.

OK. Here goes (finally!): I got this link from the DA.com on their general board: "There is another way" thread"

I read that link, but, imHo, (love that random "H" cap. LOL. Don

Oh, HELL YEAH!!! I was doin' a pretty darn fancy two-step to the 12-Step Boogie, fakin' out the BEST of 'em....But THIS particular episode got my dander up and I forgot my place in the  cadence of things......  But, I agree w/ you---I CAN DO THIS....I've only got a year and 1/2 left and then I'm home free.   So I will plaster that smile on my faceand say,  "Yes, maam "and "No, Siree, Bob" and spout off whatever it is they want to hear from me.
   Wanna hear something IRONIC??  At my home group they just began a new "Introduction Format" so the  druggies would feel welcome and the AA Bullies wouldn't know which ones to pick on.  It's a simple statement that says, "Hi, I'm Jack Mehoff (I couldn't resist---sorry)  and it is my desire to not drink or use today." So that includes everyone but is a little more VAGUE than the other terse statement that has been used for so long.  So I DON'T have to  chastise myself for being an ALKIE or a DRUGGIE---just say "Hey--I hope I stay clean today." And I have to problem w/ that.  So, everything worked out.  
  The book highlighting is a FAB idea---w/ lots of notes in the margins, and perhaps a tiny sample bottle of lotion to go w/ the scrawny piece of chocolate....LOLO  We are terrible....!!  LOVE IT!!!!!! Peazy
