Hi D- Thanks. I committed to going to support my wife as she tried to rebuild the relationship with her family. I do want to maintain my sobriety, but I also want to be there for my wife.
Yes, alcohol was a good pain management tool - even as it was causing the problem it was relieving the symptoms ('til it wore off anyway). Well, my toolbox now is narcotics and nerve blockers - not enough to be effective... but thats where the problem comes in with being an alcoholic - they are afraid of setting up another addiction, which I completely understand, but at the same time I am in pain and they haven't found another effective tool. We'll see what the new pain doc says and the brain guys too... as my nurse practitioner says 'we're desperate - try anything'
Thanks again - Shea
