Feeling kind of down today. I have a friend that was doing so well. Had his own business, a shop, nice truck, etc. I thought he made it this time. I know another person who had been clean for 6 yrs. Bought a house, was taking vacations, etc.
He too has relapsed. I have been having health problems that make me have to start taking pain meds. Although this drug is not an opiate, I find it works just like one (without the high) and worry about being addicted to it. But it really does help my pain, better than vics or percs. When I see people fall back I worry that I too will relapse. Does anyone else worry about relapse? Do you think you have it under control? I would really like too hear from others.

I too have had long periods of true sobriety (eight years) and subsequent periods of not drinking but abusing prescription drugs. Today I am almost two weeks into my most recent vicodin withdrawal. Struggling to stay clean and sober myself and found your post. Life is truly better on this side of the ocean, but claiming my spot here is always tenuous for me.
It will always be a battle for us. Good luck to you!!
I struggle but never relapse. I just imagine the disappointment in my kids and my family. I realize it is not worth it. Drugs are a crutch for weak people and I understand this now. I will never use again.
