Hey everyone.
I'm new to this forum. Never thought I'd have to register with a sobriety website, but I need to try something new.
Until today, I made it over two months clean. That's the longest I've been clean since I started messing around with painkillers, which was about 3 years ago.
I was pretty confident that I had this problem taken care of. Then unexpected circumstances resulted in the presence of numerous bottles of pills in my house. I managed to fight the urge for a few weeks, but today I caved. I'm so tired of this. I wish I had never touched em.
I've given up so many excellent opportunities (including a nomination to a service academy) because I'm an unstable, yet somehow functional, drug addict.
Hopefully this forum will provide some much needed aid in my quest for long term sobriety.

Hi Metallica....enter sandman! I was lucky enough to see them at the Apollo theater on Saturday night and remarked at how awesome they were ... then I remembered that THEY are sober and for the first time....I was sober for a Metallica show. Stick with this and be open to getting help (like James H. did)....stay clean and sober and know that "nothing else matters".
