ok, I'm pissed... I had a whole post written and when I went to post it I got that page can't be displayed message. Ugh!
I told him the same thing about the convertible, that the kids could ride in the other car. But like he said, we are always switching our schedules around and sometimes we don't even know who's going to get them until right before hand and we are already on the road. I actually had a convertible when I met him.. a Cadillac. It was my baby. It is the opposite in my house, I'm the one who has all the toys. lol
I would never judge you, and you have nothing to worry about anyway because you are a wonderful person! You have my sense of humor and I like that. You 'get' me. You have been there and given me such support since day one.
I am so glad he opened up to me. I have been thinking about him non-stop since he told me. And hubby can't get jealous - he is an older guy who reminds me so much of my dad... lol
The weirdest part is I have always been so intimated by him. He is this big boss who can be downright scary... lol. I used to get nervous around him, like I would do something idiotic if he even walked in the room. Now he is just so different in my eyes. So human. And he has weaknesses just like me.
I know, I was amazed. To be honest I have taken 30 oxys in a day. But EVERY day? eeek. And a doctor who would actually keep you in that high of a supply? Insane.
I never heard that about taking the tylenol out of the vicodin until he told me. Unfortunately while I was using I didn't care enough to stop or watch the amount of tylenol I was taking. When I had an ultrasound on my liver last week I was CONVINCED it wasn't going to be good. Between the amount of drinking and pills, I didn't think I'd even have a liver anymore... lol. I was so relieved (and surprised) when it came back okay.
Yeah, my grandma's doctor keeps giving her vike prescriptions even though she TELLS him she doesn't need them. She actually rips them up when she gets them. I think a lot of it has to do with the fear she has because of all the addicts in my family. That is also why my mother stays away from them and doesn't drink.
I have a convertible and love it. My wife doesn't really like the kids riding in it. I usually drive her van when taking the kids out. Men have to have their toys!!!!!
It would be great if you could help your co-worker. Keep on working on him and you might have success. I believe as you do, God has a reason to bring people together. The only positive thing that came from my drug use was meeting my friends here. You never judge me and always make me smile. I feel you are with me through thick and thin.
30 oxys a day? sorry- im speechless. As far as taking the tylenol out of vicodin, it really is not that hard to do and is preferable- 4000 mg. of tylenol a day is toxic. Now think the dosages in vicodin; 5/500, 7.5/750, 10/660. Dont tell me this **** is not poison.
I have to say i am not surprised at your story (although i am surprised at the number 30). Pharmies are a huge industry that requires alot of "clients". I have been stunned at who is using (and this is at all age groups- from the 20's to the 70's- put it this way, my 91 year old mother is perscribed 60 perc's a month and doesnt need them. I see how active all the pharmacies are and how these drugs are part of everyday life
Its crazy
It has been awesome - last night I really was missing you guys here though. Emtionally my nerves have had it I think. I am trying to work through that and I am sure I will be fine.
Mount Rushmore was AMAZING!! I got chills several times. I am sure that would not have happened if I was high. Being sober is such a gift. My family has been a blast to be around - well my brother and his wife. My mom has not been feeling that great most of the trip. She has IBS and it has really been bothering her. Although it is great to see her.
I miss you!!
luv,

You are so right - you enjoy things in such a different way when you are sober. Such a REAL way. I am glad you are experiencing that, you deserve it!
Sorry to hear your mom is going through that. My ex husband had the same thing and it was torture for him to travel. I hope she can still enjoy the trip.
