it has aslways seemed to me whenever i used everything in my life would go wrong, when i used  i would get flat tires every week.
when i used i got arrested at least 50 times' for things that i was not even part of doing.
i think they call it murphy's law , well it always had a strangle hold on my life ,whenever i  did drugs.
I somtimes thought it was my father praying for me, so i
would say to him stop praying for me , i crashed my car,
lost my job and broke my ankle  that week.

there is the other side of this story, once i started on the
road of staying clean the oppisite happened, everythin that could go right did, instead of spending my money on drugs,
and buying 5 dollar tires at the junk yard  i, bought sears steel belted raidels and never got a flat agian.
i never got arrested agian, inever lost my job agian,
i got custdy of my kids, ect, ece,
when i got clean and went to meetings it was like i was invisible
to the cops, and invisible to bad things coming my way.

i am writing this because  cincee posted that the only na meeting she could find was i the bad lands,in her town
and she would not go there unarmed, well my experence
has always been ,whenever we make that effort or surrender to
go to meetings , we seem to be invisible to trouble.
i grew up in the bad lands in philly so i understand her concern.
when ever i went back to the badlands to start meetings
or attend them i was a little leary but nothing ever happened.
CINCEE -call the na hotlone and ask , there are a lot of meetings not listed , talk to smeone sbout ,in your area.

Glad you are doing somewhat better.  I had posted some silly thing on Friday and then saw yours about what pain you were in, so I quickly apologized.  I  said the same thing as CinCee; I didn't know what we could do for you, but we would be praying for you.  Did you not see those posts?  Anyway, I hope we do better next time....Peaz

Gimme clouds anytime.... now THAT is some good weather.....

I'm here.... I slept at 5-8, and then got paged itno the work...

P.S. Not to sound AA preachy, but 2 beers + Stadol everday actually is the same as a six pack plus (in terms of impairment)
BUT... I'm not implying anything by that statement.
Just concerned!

About Prednisone, it's not just a non-narcotic. It's a steroid. Steroids can do bad stuff to one's body, not all of it reversable. Prednisone is a godsend to my mom when her inhaler won't relieve her asthma. But long term use can cause such lovely conditions as 'moon face,' where the drug redistributes the fat in your face. Not a pretty sight. Also, agressive, sometimes crazy behavior. Not a good drug for someone trying to stay off the controlled sub's. Anyway, I'd grill your doc about the side effects, then quiz some pharmacists. Take care.

Its no biggy. I am not worried about it, and I don't expect anybody else to either.

I did get your email Leah. I will try and email back ASAP.

I email somebody here as much as I can, and they haven't even got an email from me in a couple days. It just is so hard because I can't get comfy in my office. (I guess that's why they called it the office) its a home office though. And my network still isn't up. My monitor(flat screen) is on the ground under my desk where my feet/chair would go. I lay with my feet up on my desk and my back flat on the floor. Its a little tricky, but it is the best for the pain.
So I am trying to get back up to speed, it is just going to take a bit until the pain eases or I go crazy.
