Wanna Give Thx to this Site and its Members

[Xsane]

I've posted questions and concerns about myself on this forum a couple times. Most importanlty, while I was going through some massive WD Sx's from getting off Methadone - A Lot of folks in here helped me more than I knew.

Most Importanly, I'd like to recognize GNarly - as Most folks here  should, and thank him for the most immediate support and constant contribution to folks going through Drug or Alcohol issues.

Overall - this site I truely believe has and will grow to help save lives and the lives of those around them.

Thank You All, and
God Bless

Oh-I absolutely know my MD is trying to help. Hes a Yale Grad, and Im pretty sure he understands whats going on with me - especially since I admitted originally that I have became too dependant of Methadone.
Ive never had an addictive type of personality - the Mentalness of it all, really isnt Too bad....but I do have an occasional moment.
For most part - I feel recovered.

Thx again...

sometimes it tuff to admit your an addict but once you do you start to see drug seeking behavior...notice that you crave sometimes...certain things trigger you wanting to use
for me back pain is a huge trigger ....I want pills and I want 1/2 a dozen of them
I treat my addiction....I see a substance abuse conslor once a week and  if im craving
fiending or just thinking about the pills to much im off to an N/A meeting recovery care is so important it really helps with the mind games...I wish you all the best in your recovery
plug into aftercare it will help you with the struggles...no reason to get frustrated with your doctor he is doing you a favor...good luck and God bless......Gnarly

Ive come off Well from Methadone. My letter to you about "We get high or we Don't get high" - began to make a lot of sense the more I started getting away from Prescribed Medications.
I do have some back pain - yes, but I've found I have been using it as an Excuse to stay on Narcotics.
There are better means to manage my pain. Also, the realization that my Physician will no longer prescribe me Meds like Vicodin or Oxy's, -- and the Point that I have been arguing with him, has made me come to realize I really do have an issue.
Again, being away from all of that - for this long of time now, has got me thinking Much clearer.

All should realize why theyre on thier meds first, and how much of those meds are to Help, and how much is for addicton.
