hi trapped....I'm glad you are here...I did drugs for a long time and alchohol as well...but not perscritions...
Yes...talking to a doctor is a very good idea.
You will find alot of people here who will support you as you work toward recovery! We are mostly a great bunch.
It's a great first step that you realize you have a problem to deal with. please talk with your doctor and let us know how that goes. It is really helpful to have a doctor assist with the physical withdrawal stuff.
