nandm,
I am shocked at how positive this, as well as the other messages, I see here on this thread, are! I never even considered the issue of control, which i am totally handing over to my pain management team. I completely agree with you that this is a positive issue, and maybe I can start my sober date at that time. I will speak with my sponsor about this, for I just want to be like other members in terms of abstaining from
illicit drugs.
Thank you for your post and message of inspiration.
