Dear Barb,
I know that all of our stories are different, even though the pain and suffering are the same. I for one caused my family a great deal of pain in that they had no idea that I was abusing my pain meds and had been "sober and straight" for over 10 years. My wife told me at that time that she would leave me if I ever did dope again. And, voila, hear I am 10 years + down the road and strung out on opiates, wondering how I got there. I owe her a great big amends-right? I am not real sure that you can have a problem with pain-killers and not owe someone an apology. THe lies, the conning, the fact that you're not available emotionally, mentally or spiritually, let alone physically must say something about how far the dope reaches into our lives.
Just a thought.
