you all are amazinh

Thank you. This is the only place I could be honest and not feel judged. I mean who are we kidding.  We say we don't want family and friends knowing. But I think if we asked most. They would say they know. We think we can hide it. But they see changes. They see mood swings. A pill here or there. But we want to believe they don't. But here. All the truth comes out and that's helps to be able to be honest.

So thank you :)

i still ask my family and friends to this day how they did not know! sheesh, even i knew - hehe

When I decided to tell my husband that I was an addict his response was " Ya,,I knew that already". Here I thought I had kept this big secret the last 2 years. Im always paranoid that other people know my lil secret,,i have to keep reminding myself that my brain is not a fishbowl,,people cant see in it like I think they can.

This is where I lived during the critical first four days of my cold turkey detox. Some days all I did was read. Then I finally posted. Amazing place - amazing people.

i love this forum as well, and love the fact that so many members are there for one another, regardless of the situation. my family had no clue though, about me, until i told them a few weeks after i flushed my pills down the drain. i thought for sure that maybe they did know - but once i went and spoke with a new doctor, he said that it's common for those not to know, because they become so addicted and used to the effects of the pills, that they become a functioning addict. scary stuff, right?

keep your head up and keep us posted on the other situation you were posting about earlier tonight, please! <333
