Okay it has gotten to the point in my life that using opiates to get high is fucking EVERYTHING up and so I want to get sober. Ive been able to stay away from cocaine, alcohol, weed, and every other drug since rehab but I cant stay away from the opiates. Of course I still have an addict brain and all that but I feel like if i didnt have the pain triggering my cravings Id be doing a whole lot better. So my question, do you guys know how to stay sober while still being able to control pain?? I like I think my PM doc would prescribe opiates but I know I cant trust myself with them. Id have to have my parents dispense or something but until then I need to stay sober but I also need to not hurt 24/7. Any advice or encouragement or tips would be awesome. Thanks.
Self-hypnosis probably won't work for you if you're wary or skeptical of it, but it's a powerful thing and it works. I wish I had more helpful advice but I don't all I can say is that you seem to be doing a good job staying clean and it's wise that you don't trust yourself with opiates. Best wishes.
That seems to be my only option right now. Not too excited about that but I'm tired of these fucking pills draining my bank account. And no I'm not gonna switch to heroin because its cheaper.
Yes. I hurt my back during basic training in the USMC. For reasons I dont feel like getting into I dont have medical benefits.
firstly welldone on staying sober an clean.i understand how difficult it is for someone trying to stay sober an clean to have ta take pain medication for genuine physical pain.i found myself having ta cope with the same circumstances many years ago.i was a few years sober an clean at tha time when i had to start taking pain relief also for a genuine health complaint.i had all the same fears at you at the time.i was scared too,that if i started taking them that i might start taking them for the right reasons and end up taking them then also when i did'nt need them.i talked to my doctor bout my concerns and got great support.i dont have ta take them all the time.i only take them when the pains so bad that i have no choice but too.and its all worked out fine for me.taking pain relief for genuine pain is not using.like me you sound like staying sober an clean is first most important thing in your life and you sound very strong in it.so i think your goin' ta do just fine.if you find the pain medication is gettin' the better of you,there is plenty support out there for you also.there are also pain management suppot clinics attached to most hospitals,something else you could discuss with your doctor if need be.all the best and keep winnin' stayin' sober and clean one day at a time.
