Boy, I feel like crap

[Virginia Paramedic]

I have had a prior addiction problem to everything from Vicodin to Diladid. I got off the stuff, but due to problems from gastric by-pass sx, I have uncontrolable diarreha. I now have to take Paregoric, which has Morphine in it. ( I have tried EVERY OTC and Rx out there besides Paregoric. )

I feel myself 'slipping' back into 'liking' narc's. But I have to have it so I don't have an accident on the job or at home.

Any Ideas?

I was very happy to read that it will be 6 months for you Sturgil!!!!!  Awesome job friend.

I have to echo your comments about Thomas........ he also helped me tremendously, especially early on in my recovery when i was "white-knuckling" it; specifically with his knowledge and sense of humour.

It'll be 10 months for me on the 19th.

Continued strength to you!

Thomas - You are a gentleman. You gave me strong advice in my early recovery and for this I thank you. It is only because of you and others here that this board works. Monday will be 6 months for me free from Opiates.

Experience

Strength

And Hope.

Thank you!

Peace to you, too.  I apologize if I offended you, but I really thought that you were mocking me.  This is too serious for petty bickering.

LOL, you think Thomas can handle the two of us without blowing a gasket?  Well, I do have those 4 pairs of cuffs if you think we'll need them, then again, he might enjoy that. :)

Haven't crossed paths with you for awhile.  I've missed you sweet lady.  Drop me a line when you get some free time and we'll get caught up!

A standard, oral dose of morphine is 30mg.  A standard, iv dose is 10mg.  Sorry, but 8mg or oral morphine is laughable, at best.  Of course, some can get by with 15mg of oral morphine, but most can't.
