I wrote a story about online pharmacies and the doctors who make MILLIONS off 3 second phone consults.  $25 per month to join the forum, $200 for the 3 minute consult, $90 for 90 Hydros, $30 for shipping...if you don't have a lot of money right now, it isn't the way.  I went "undercover" on one of these forums.  I found that these people are just like us, except they are on the downward spiral...popping 20-40 Hydros a day...with some valium on top...yummy.  They are a sorry bunch, and the doctors don't give a rat's ass about any of them.

As I said, I went undercover and you can bet your ass there are others watching...pretending to be a fellow pill-poppers...probably a fed or something.

I don't mean to be a downer here, but this site is for people wanting to get better...why don't you forget about this drug seeking stuff and write about why you feel the need to indulge.

I'm just a fellow addict...I've been there and done that, which is why I can see the road you're on will only bring you pain.

Hey everybody. I havent been posting very much but I try to keep up with what is going on. Everything has been up and down alot lately. I miss my mom very much and I wish I could have her again. I remember when I was growing up and she used to take me shopping with her. Being a teenager I felt embarrassed and walked off on my own, you know; can't let noone see you with your mom.. Mom understood though. She would let me go off with my friends almost everyday. I wish I would have spent more time with her.

I call dad everyday now. I'm not going to waste my chance with him if I can help it. He usually stays busy. I tell him its good for him to do something every once in awhile but dont get carried away. (Where have I heard this before?) He builds these very nice Grandfather clocks in his wood shop and I dont know where he gets all that energy. He's a tough cookie, as he tell me.(By the way, my father has been sober from everything for almost 12 years. I am so proud of my dad.)

Its my 29th day and I feel ok. Pixi, thank you.
Stay Cool!

What's "festertool" mean?

Greetings to you all,
I have not posted in a while but come in every day and read all of the posts.  It is such a comfort to know that I am not the only person with these issues.  I feel like the biggest loser on the planet and when I read all of the personal stories I feel like someone has thrown me a life ring.  I am still working on my plan to taper.  I have been praying alot and also setting aside time to excersize.  My taper will begin in a couple of weeks.  I know that sounds dumb, why not stop now, but I do not
have enough of a spine to stop when I have a full prescription.
I am rambling, I know, but I want you all to know that the kinship I feel when I read the posts here cannot be described.  
I thank you all and will keep everyone updated.  I have been praying for all of you and ask that you would do the same for me, if you are not one to pray then please just keep me in your thoughts.  This thing is bigger than me and I need all of the help I can get.  Thanks to all.

Hi fes,it was good to see ya post.I have been wondering how you were doing.I know how the loss of a parent feels as I told you.It is kinda scarey in a way.I always felt safe somehow  while my dad was alive.I too decided to spend more time helping my mom after the loss of my dad.It helped me feel better.i know this is a hard time for you but it will get easier.you are doing so well with your sobriety even though you are going through this emotional upheavel.As I told you,your mom would be so proud!
Your dad makes grandfather clocks?I have heard that there are very few craftsmen still doing that.Im sure it helps him to keep busy.Well,i've written you a novel.you are always in my prayers,keep on the path your on.God bless.
