I have chronic pain from multiple conditions. I manage it with prayer & meditation, creative visualization, exercise, hot baths, aroma therapy, and most importantly, a 12 step program of recovery.

Regardless of the pain, when I used, my addiction drove the amount I used--which was all I could get my hands on. No one but your husband can say how much pain he's in, but I know one thing. Moderate to severe chronic pain can be managed without meds. It takes a very honest desire to remain clean and sober, but it can be done. And I also know that until I was ready to quit, no one could make me. The only thing in your control is the money, and if you've already cut that off, you'll soon know to what lengths he's willing to go to feed his addiction.

Peace & Love,
Sugah

P.S. My housekeeper had disc replacement surgery on her neck. She still has some discomfort, but she was back to work six month later.
