I am a shameful addict who made a mistake today
I usually post in the newcomers forum because I did have an alcohol problem so I can relate.. But alcohol was secondary. I don't consider myself an alcoholic. I am an addict who turned to alcohol when I couldn't get prescriptions. My DOC are benzos. But I abuse anything I get.
So honesty is best, hi I'm Bug and I am an addict. Today I took 4 of my seven year daughter's ADHD meds. I have been sober for 77 days. I have been clean too, but today I just took 4 pills and swallowed them while forgetting all I have learned in those 77 days. I spent July in rehab. I just tossed all I learned away and took the pills.
I am disgusted. Full of shame. I really took my daughter's pills. I feel awful.
I want to get to know other addicts. So I came on over here to say hello and tell my tale of regret.
