Hi sweetichick.....

I too am sorry to hear of your struggles
and sending understanding and compassion
your way.

I am concerned about more Valium your
doctor gave you yesterday. That to me is
like a huge red flag flying high. Why, because
it is a powerful drug that keeps folks in
an addiction.

In recovery, it is so very important that
if we need to see a doctor for whatever
the illness is, that they are aware that we
who are in recovery do not wish to be
prescribed narcotics or anything habit
forming.

Sure, doctors will give us whatever
we ask for never minding if we have
an addiction problem or in recovery.
So it is our responsibility to stand strong
in telling our doctors NO.

As long as we continue to take strong
narcotic meds then we will remain sick
in our addiction and we will never get
out of the fog.

I'm hoping and praying that you will
revisit your doctor and discuss with
him about your situation and reevaluate
you medicine and help you get healthy
with non addictive medicine if needed.

Once we become honest and responsible
in recovery and in our life, then we will
begin to heal and see the Light from above,
and truly believe our Higher Power is and
will always be with us guiding us along on
our journey to achieve a healthy, happy life.
