Oh Brock....Hold Me.I'm so skeered
I have your number.
I must be outta the loop...who the heck is Brock? From what...tv?
Skeeter, I feel your pain. I can't get off these damned* pills either. I am so lost and pissed off, and feel backed into a corner. I have relapsed so many times I have lost count. I wish there was a magic button to fix all of this and make it go away for ever....if you ever want to talk, I am here for you, or email me...Saamdp@Yahoo.com.
Sharon-It's in my sig.line.It's a 60's B movie.
Skeeter-Call when you're ready.I can hook you up with a woman who will take you to a meeting.Good Luck

Tim...you crack me up..."skeered"...LOLOLOL.....After your "Tooth" post I started brushing mine 4 times a day! I am terrified of the dentist, never mind the "cashectomy" he performed! I hope somehow it wirks out for you buddy. I spent 5 grand getting my teeth back and still have missing back teeth. have a good weekend. Love, Sharonn

| "cashectomy" |
If something major happens to me I will go to BenTaub.It's the best trauma hospital in the country and it's charity.
Oh God Tim....try not to project too much. I would tell 'em to pull them all out and get a shiny new pair that you soak in a cup. LOL ..that's IF I had to go thru any more dental pain. Let's hope your scenario is better. Some people have bad teeth and some never get a cavity no matter what they eat or when they brush. Go figure. I'm skeered of the dentist drill....yikes!!!!!! Marathon Man (sorry...this isn't helping) Love, S

Tim you may think 1800 isn't much for dental insurance to pay, but it is 1800 less for someone with mouth issue to have to worry about. I just had this very amount come in the mail from our dentist.
I was bitching about my insurance plan, when I had work done, they cover so little, but at least they cover some of the costs. Dentist for the most part are good about taking payments once you establish relationships, meaning you must be an active patient. Some dentist simply will not touch a person period unless they have cash for the difference of what insurance doesn't cover. Or cash for the non insured.
I was looking at a 900.00 bill the other day, (making payments) for which delta dental pays 50% of the treatment. I got to thinking about your situation and how lucky you are that you have a good dentist that will work with you as we do, some people if not most do not have this opportunity. So my frustration about paying 900. as opposed to the total of treatment was abated once I saw the whole total. 900. vs 1800. out of pocket.
I think it was a member on here (do not recall who this was) said she had a tooth ache, no insurance, no dentist, no money, so no one would see her as she called around. I was thinking how sad is this. I do not recall the outcome, I wish i did now. I think if memory serves me well she ended up in the E.R. WE all know how tooth aches can affect us.
We pay for inmates medical care, yet we can't get it for most people on the outside. I am really torn about this. WE pay for inmates care and they get pretty good FREE medical care, so when i hear about someone working just to make ends meet, that they are in misery due to not having insurance. This kills me.
The part that I do not understand about insurance, is when the insurance caps, for people with children of a chronic condition that may be life long, will have to find alternatives once they reach that cap, or people in general who let's say have an accident and needs ongoing care for the rest of their lives, then they are out of resources, the ongoing dilemma of health care.

Sorry skeeter I got off track on my rant about insurance and failed to tell you,
to keep trying, not give up, which from your posts, I see you succeeding and wanting this so badly that you will become free of addiction. Reaching out and admitting is the first hurdle to get over, now you just have one more, keep going.

Thank you Tim,
Skeeter...man I know how much this hurts, how disgusted and disappointed you are in yourself. But, you also know that all those emotions aren't going to help you honey. They will just make you feel worse.
You relapsed so what...it suck and its hard...but it doesnt mean that you are a bad person. You have a serious disease and left untreated it will and does attack. Just like any other disease.
I put this on Shelly's thread, but it applies here too....I know that before I ever put that first pill in my mouth I had already subconsciously relapsed. You might recognize this too. That started to really upset me cause I could see it all happening right before my eyes and had no one that really understood to talk to!! So you move forward and relapse thinking you might find some relief when all you find are all those feeling of self loathing!! What a waste!!
Please...find a meeting in your area...I know its been said over and over but you know what...just to have that connection is so very powerful. You need to work on your insides..;your head...your mental health it starts in your head!!
I am 5months clean...that's a miracle...I know you have been clean for long stretches too, for me this is the longest. I could never have done it without the help of the rooms of AA. This I know....I can't dabble in pills, I cant take them once in awhile, I can't even have them in my house.
When I broke my ankle almost 4 weeks ago, I was terrified because I knew I would need narcotics for a while....I would have been off and running had it not been for the help that I got from AA...I have no support in my own house....its a house of denial. It would have been the perfect excuse for me to get back on the pill highway to hell....I didn't because of the program.....this I know!
Email me anytime skeeter...I would love to help...keekee199@yahoo.ca

Skeeter,
I hear you, I hear you. You're not a loser if you keep on trying. Moving away from any addictive behavior is very difficult so pat yourself on the back for the days you've succeeded. Best of luck and keep posting. Others will help you. I guarantee it.
