I want to get y'alls take on pain pills....and I mean prescribed pain meds for REAL pain.
A little background: oxy and hydro were my doc at one time. When I got clean off those I amped up the booze. I've made my big plan and am committed to permanent abstinence.
So...I find myself in a predicament about using prescribed pain meds. I am in real pain...as in 'I'm having a hard time sleeping because of the pain' kind of pain. I know the meds will genuinely help ease the pain, but I also know that I like the effect the meds provide. Am I over thinking this? I'm a purist about my abstinence...I don't even cook with alcohol, etc...but am I being too extreme about the pain meds? If I take the meds am I feeding my beast? Does permanent abstinence mean we have to suffer in pain? Blah!!
