 I screwed up
I've been sick with influenza, I went to the doctor and he gave me some cough medicine with codeine. I had been clean for over a year, and thought I could take it as directed. What a joke. Soon 1 tsp. every 12 hours became 1 tbls. every 6 hours. Then I discovered some leftover pain pills from my husband's surgery and took them along with the codeine, went through 2 bottles of each in a week's time. Now I'm feeling horrible, lower than a snake's belly. I guess it's time to approach my recovery as seriously as I approached my using, and address all my addictions, including my spending. I resolve to get re-involved with either (or both) NA or AA. This is so difficult! I awoke a sleeping giant--the cravings are awful. Thanks so much for listening.
