This community is a place to share information and support with others who are trying to stop using drugs, prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other addictive substances. Discuss with others, the symptoms of addiction, addiction recovery, ways to quit like tapering and cold turkey, and withdrawal symptoms. If you are interested in general "chat", please visit our
Addiction Social Community.
So when I open up and share honest and hard to re-live memories about bad things I have done in my past, I have to worry about some higher up person that moderates, and watches with objection? THAT ISN'T RIGHT!!! I DIDNT DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL OR WRONG!
Alot of us have admitted to buying pills not using a DR script, yet why arent those cancelled??!?!?!! I was getting really used to this site and feeling like I could share, and talk about anything.. EVIDENTILY NOT!!

I didn't take your post about cost as offensive.
However, I did stop in the middle of a response to it and deleted what I had already typed. It struck me that my responding was firing up a war-story thinking pattern that I find to be counter to Recovery. My exact thought was "I do NOT need to be engaged in this line of thinking," so I hit escape twice and closed my browser.
Addiction is a subtle and cunning enemy. I find that it often tries to sneak up on me disguised as something harmless and even something helpful. In responding to your post about cost, it would seem that I would have the helpful thoughts about how much money I had wasted, the negative impact of that waste on all aspects of my life and those that depend on me, and how I never, ever want to do such a thing again. And I did have all those helpful thoughts.
But underneath those helpful thoughts were almost hidden, far from helpful thoughts about buying and using. They made me feel distinctly uncomfortable. I do not think I would have been aware of the under current in early recovery. It would have been there, but I wouldn't have noticed it. At this point, I tend to pay pretty close attention to such under currents. I find that's very important to my Recovery.
