Thank you. I'm right there with ya Gooch in terms of the accountability factor. I have it put on all my hospital/surgical paperwork, doctor's notes, etc. etc. that I am a recovering addict.
if you set a reasonable goal and make yourself accountable to a family member, sponsor, or sig other that you trust is really trying to help.
That would be my best friend who has also been around the program since she was a small girl. She deals with chronic pain so she has the compassion, but she has just enough bitch in her that she slaps me down when I need it without riding me like a donkey like my dad would, or using it for some verbal torture later like my using husband would.
It's 7:13pm, yes I'm counting by minutes today it's that bad, and I've only taken 2 all day still! Woot! Thanks for sharing your story. It's stories like that which convince me I can do it somehow someway.
