Hey everyone, still can't sleep; It's been roughly, I can't even remember the last time I took pills, I'm hurting but so happy I'm not high on those pills. I have been smoking weed which I do not like, but it helps mellow me out more than anything I've tried. Maybe I can give up on the drinking also, When I first got back from Afghan... the very first night; we landed at 1 am, we were done with the ceremony.... and turned our guns and SI in and went home at about 3am. Had to be in at 9amto start reintergration... i went out with about 30 friends, I was still 20 got into a bar tho, just walked in with everyone who looke older so we got in.... an I drank and drank and drank I was an alcoholic, then the pills came in..... and it *****..... Watching tv trying to survive..

Yep Mdb
Painful to say the least
it hurts our soul...it hurts our inner self that we can be so stupid...but we can dern sho do it!  LOL    COL ):
Thing is...the same brain we have that made us weak can make us strong...it is all within ourselves..usually takes support..lots of it...aftercare is the only true medicine..the only antidote for addiction like insulin to a diabetic...yet most addicts resist aftercare like the plague
it is part of the disease...it like builds a protective membrane around our brain to let the pills or DOC back in....makes aftercare look scary...the addicts brain actually changes and is proven on cat scans
Ur dose is high...but ur will is strong

it is mind over matter
u can do this

hang tight!
