who should we tell about our addiction, and who are we accountable to.
i saw this question below, asking do we or should we tell
our husbands and wives about our useing.
should we tell our children, and freinds.
i myself have told my wife everything then agian she is a recoverind addict for 18 years and has a better understanding then most wives.
my children know i am a recovering addict, but i do not go into detail with them.
It has been my experence that we need to be accountable to someone.accountabilty is a big issue, involving honesty.
most of us have lived this secret life hideing pills spending ungodly amounts of money and sometimes even to the point
of destroying our money situation.
being honest is very important but i think we have to have caution in this area, there are lot of people who think
once and addict always an addict.
one thing i found , once we have found someone we can trust we need to let them know when we relapse.
peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to call the Detox on Monday and ask them how much they charge out of pocket and tape-record it. I am going to fight these selfish bastards..they were very rude to me. The only people that were great was my room-mate and the other patients except for one who had a bug up her ass. She felt that her being on Hydro's for 15 years versus my 3 mos was so much more problems and that I was just a Hypercondriac..I actually cried..and I'm originally for Brooklyn..we don't do that!! But addiction can change you inside and out as you probably know. What the mean ol woman didn't know is that I have been on pain killers on and off for 6 years due to surgeries. Once I was on Perc's for 6 months straight...never got hooked til introduced to Hydro's. AND, I have no idea how she even knew anything about me. My guess is the nurses blab. THere was one really nice young night duty nurse there. She was so sweet and patient. So, I am going to fight these sob's. Thanks for listening. Peace to you!
Quick post from home (where I haven't told anyone) -- Day 40 and doing well. Quite pleased with the clarity and sharpness; I had actually forgotten what it was like.
