How is everyone doing today, Great I hope You know I wanted to share a little something with everyone, When I was in my what I would call "peak"of my addiction, I hooked up with this Dr that I found in the phone book. So I started seein ghim for my back problems, witch by the way on paper I have problems, but on a day to day basis I am not in pain, but they did'nt have to know that ;-) So After seeing the doctor for about a week, He started giving me RX for first it was 240 10-500 lortabs, then he gave me a RX for 320 10-500 lortabs, At the time I mean when he handed me the RX might as well have handed me a million dollors, but there was a catch, I was not able to get it filled for a week. He dated it a week in advance, now I was out of pills at this time, so that week might as wekk been 10 years! being the addict that I was, I still tried takin git to about 4 different phamacys and they all caught the date, so going throught w/d and feening for the pills, I took the RX home and somehow changes the date to that day. then with one last shot I took it to the last phamcy in my area, I have it to the phamisict and prayed! Im sitting there as shes tryin gsomthing on the computer, biteing my nails, feeling sick from the W/D and then as if I won th elottery, I hear the pills hit the counter for counting!!! Let me tell you, Music to my ears! After getting my pills and heading home, as soon as I got out the door of the pharmacy I popped 4 of them! I could wait, so when I got home, I started getting really scared about the changing of the date...so what do I do? call the DR and tell him....I explained to him what I did, and that I was addicted, he told me that he would not press any kind of charges, but I would no longer be able to see him.....Its amazing what our addictions drive us too do....after I was not able to see him anymore, there were many more DR's I seen Up until I quit, Looking back on it, I cant believe the things I did, but that's all over now, I feel as though when I stopped using, I was re born now I'm not a very religious person, but I do believe that God had something too so with me becoming sober...So I hope you all are well, and I hope to talk to you all soon!!! Have a great day in recovery!

Oh, Anthony,
I do remember so many scary stories like that. Too many! Yes, thank the good Lord that we are clean now. I'm over one year -- actually, it was one year in March, so I guess that adds up to 1+1/2!! Yeah!! You have a great day.
Idea -- maybe for Halloween, we should all post such scary stories!!!!!!! Whatcha think, CG?

Anthony,
I changed quantities. If the Lortab doctor was in a bad mood - he was moody - he would give me 8 instead od 90 or 120 w/refills which is what I usually got there. . A few times I changed the # to 80, not caring at the time, during my addiction in my 30's (8) was not enough to last a day.
I told my husband I did this and he freaked. He said, don't you know they audit pharmacies for reason just like that? Well, I didn't. He said I could be arrested and that scared me so I never did it again.
So, just wanted you to know you're not the only one and I'm so proud of you for calling your doctor and telling him.
