good morning and hello to freedomfromfear. thank you for posting. theres something that you said that really caught my eye and got me thinking. prior to the start of my addiction, i was experiancing these feelings, ie: lack of joy, enthusiasm, depression off and on, and then i found my drug of choice, and it made me feel like a million bucks. this is very scary to me, for i dont want to loose the happiness, the enthusiasm, the positive attitude towards life i feel when im on the pills. this sounds so sick, and i realize now that they are not the answer, however what is the answer to happiness? i want to rid myself of my sickness, and at the same time be happy. have the pills been masking ny true self all this time? where do i turn when im rid of my addiction? im very scared. am i different than most people here? any insight to this is greatly appriaciated. thank you oreo
