Step 1, in my opinion, was the most difficult.
I'm not going to say it was all downhill from there or anything, but after admitting that I was an addict and that I was powerless, the rest came somewhat easily.
Again, I'm not saying it was all easy after admitting, but it for sure made things EASIER.
Congratulations on 10-days Brother!
i know how you feel im finally admitting im an addcit and just like you i have real pain but as the years went by my body became use to the meds and i had to take more i was always wondering why do i feel so bad no energy had to force my self to move to go to work and now from finding this site i see it was the pills!!! now i need to find a better way to control my pain without no opaites!!
Chrissy- I totally understand. Right now my back is hurting. Enough that I am very tempted. I was wondering-- Does pain escalate doing periods of heavy craving?. I am wondering if it could be pain due to the addiction. basically my body telling me to use because I have pain- so its ok.
