He had me before I even saw him. Asked me what I was doing out this late alone, I said I was getting a friend from a bar and he said I was "slurring".

Cuffed me, took me to their local jail and called my mom. Wrote me a ticket and said I can fight it in front of the judge. I had been up all night and been yelled at by my parents so I was really out of it when I wrote the above. 2nd time in jail. No sleep. My apologies for the above rant.
Maybe it is time to ask yourself how well your recovery is going when you are taking a medicine that you have stated should not be mixed with other medications yet you are mixing it with other medications. Now, I don't know your medical history or even the whole situation, I am just pointing out that unless you are following doctors orders with mixing the medicines then you are still exhibiting unhealthy addict behavior. I only point this out because in the past I have told myself "Oh I am not using heroin so I am clean" yet I was taking way more then prescribed of other medicines I had been given and running out early at the end of the month, or taking 2 to sleep better that night, etc. I had to step back and really evaluate my behavior and then adjust myself before I ended up ruining all the hard work I had done.

If your doctor told you to mix those medicines and you were taking them as prescribed then ignore my comment and your doctor will be able to most likely give you documentation to help get the case dismissed.

Regardless, I am sorry that you are at a low point right now. I know what it is like to be trying so hard and then something out of the blue just knocks you off your feet. Continue to fight for your recovery and never give up on yourself, you are worth it!
