Welcome-Please read before posting - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

***Morning Glory*** · 05-14-2008, 02:50 PM

Welcome to our new forum.

This forum has the potential for problems so it is up on a trial basis.

This forum is for members in recovery who struggle with pain management. Please keep posts on topic. It is not a forum to debate clean time in relationship to prescription medication. Threads that turn into a debate over clean time will be closed or posts will be removed.

Suggested Topics:

Accountability when using prescribed pain medication.

Alternatives to pain medication such as:

Mind-Body Therapies
Acupuncture
Aromatherapy
Biofeedback
Chiropractic
Homeopathy
Hydrotherapy
Hypnosis
Magnetic field therapy
Massage
Meditation
Naturopathy
Relaxation and breathing techniques
Yoga

Please keep in mind that some members of Soberrecovery are in recovery for addiction to many pain medications and post so that your sharing and experience does not trigger those who may be reading. Keep the focus on recovery and not "detailed experience" with medications being used.

Posts that contain information or experience with illegal substances or street drugs used for pain management will be removed.

No medical advice!

Please discuss all treatment options with your physician.

To Everyone:

I am so thrilled to see how quickly this wonderful new forum was set up! My own feeling is that it will be a unique place where those of us can share the myriad of topics that exist, and Morning's suggested topics are some which are brand new to me, and I cannot wait to look into aome of the alternative methods that are listed...

Thanks to all of the Sober Recovery staff for responding so fast in the creation of the forum.
