Okay. So you were drinking and taking pills before you hurt your shoulder....I think you should cancel your appt. on Thursday or go in and tell them you're an addict and need help. You need to shut off those 90 pills or you won't get anywhere. I'm sure they'll help you but stay away from Sub or Methadone if they offer that. You've come to far to get stuck on that stuff.
Warm, just have faith in yourself. If you really want to do this, you can and it sounds to me like you do. Just focus on your exercise again when you are feeling better. You will probably have a much quicker reaction time boxing and knock someone's lights out. lol
You sound like you really want this and it literally is a day by day process. I wish you all the best.
Yeah I am nervous about turning those precious 90 down Thursday especially since I stopped my street supply. I was drinking from the time I got off work until bed. The crazy part is I always ran 8-12 miles a day and boxed with sparing partners 4 days a week while drinking and eating all the damn pills. The boxing tore my shoulder and it all went to **** from there.
Congrats on 2 weeks. it does get better. Protein, protein, protein. B-vitamins too. If you quit drinking too, then you are probably getting a double dose of withdrawals. Depending on how much and often you drank, alcohol withdrawals can be brutle too I hear.
I had the same issue as you, I went to my monthly back doctor appt. and he was about to right my monthly 120 per month norco script and I told him that I was off narcotics. He then tried to put me on Tramadol but after reading so many horror stories on this site, I didnt have it filled. I have been getting by on Ibuprophen.
I will say, it was one very proud moment in my recovery to turn down 120 pills.
That sound like a good idea and I am worried about my liver. The crazy part is I'm known as a health nut...with a dark secret. >:-(
Don't say you're allergic, that's a give away. Say you're extremely sensitive. However,unless you are more up front, they'll keep offering an opiate. Why not say you're worried about becoming dependent ?
