Where are you? Who is pointing fingers? I wish you and everyone else well.
Honey, I'm right here, got something to say, say it.
I said it and I am not fighting with you. I think you should know what my life is like dealing with this opiate thing - even though I never took one. And, if you cared about the whole reality of the situation you would respect that. I respect your opinion. Just hear me out on my postings. It may sound harsh but it comes from the heart. Best wishes.
Jen, you may of had good intentions when you started this post, I don't know. I do know that you are having problems with your b/f because of his opiate abuse and I wish that he could get help. He is the only one that can help himself and reach out for a recovery program. If you're having this much pain in dealing with this, then you should talk to him and perhaps considering getting away from him until he gets the help he needs.
The one thing I did not want to do was argue with anyone tonite, but when one feels like they're getting attacked they fight back. Thats human nature. You had no right to pick on Marie, she's doing the best that she can do, give her a break.
We're here for recovery and support. Please be considerate in your posts and you'll get the same in return.

I agree. i felt that i was getting attacked by her. Lets let it go. I get your point. and I have set a time table to leave in october. He has to do his own thing and maybe hit rock bottom. I dont wish that on him and that is why i stay. I used to feel bad but now i feel sour. sometimes it seems people here are naive about the full circle of addiction and abuse. that is all I am saying. I wish you all well. I am tired. He probably wont burn the house down now. Maybe I can sleep. Goodnight.
Jen,
People here are not naive about addiction and what it does not only to ourselves but to our loved ones. I deal with guilt daily, but what I have learned is that I have a disease.. I will have this disease for the rest of my life. I am in a recovery group which consists of education and group therapy and a nursing group and I attend NA regularly. I am making ammends to those that I have hurt. I got addicted to pain pills after having surgery and unrelenting pain afterwards. All of my pills were prescribed to me legally. Let me tell you in advance that those ativan you are taking are much more addicting and harder to get off of than any pain pill. I'm not being mean about this, just telling you the truth. Please continue to take them only as prescribed for you own sake.
And at any time that you feel you are in trouble with them, get help, the sooner the better. I don't wish to argue anymore either.

Thanks Sharon,
I didnt mean to argue either, I was definately offended though. I don't like to express such anger. When I was typing the words were just coming out, again I apologize for that.
Anyway Sharon, I havent spoken to you lately. I'm back on track again. Started going to some meetings and at the moment, as you said, doing the best I can. Its been a couple of days now and I dont feel near as bad as last time. Guess I wanted it so bad I didnt see that my body was actually in "shock" because of coming to such a severe "halt". I plan to attend another meeting tomorrow night.
Hope youre doing great. Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon.
Love,
Marie
