It is important to do reeasrch and to ask questions sothat whwen a health care professionsal sugeests things we are informed enough to ask questions based on what we know of our past and our disease.
There are times we requuire meds..When absolutely required [ie; tragic accident , surgery, and we need pain meds] we ask someone we trust to be informed of the need for the med and I asked the person to monitor my use...this was in early recovery...and i know still today after many years in recovery...for me to remain safe, sober, clean, & happy, jyous & free...I still allow someone to know what is going on with me . I have a daily reprieve based on my spiritual condition.
