I havent been around in a while. Ive been having some trouble and i needed to be on my own. I probably wont be around to much for awhile either...just wanted you guys to know that i havent relapsed nor do i intend to...its just some issues that im having about things iim dealing with right now due to my recovery, my health, my emotions, some sever ptsd, i just havent been feeling right...i decided i should go to some NA meetings, i need to get some serious help and guidance about whats happening to me, i just feel so scared that if i dont do something it will get worse and i dont know if i will be able to handle the pain...bye

Heh Tink,
Sorry your not feeling well, I hope N/A meetings and whatever else you choose will help you cope with what you feel you have to face now.

I hope you change your mind and keep coming to SR, you will be so missed, you have many many friends here.

Do try and check in, or maybe just stop in and read some posts if thats all you feel like.

Take care of you thats whats important!

hey tink, sorry to hear your going though a bad spell. i had issues with ptsd when i got clean. needed to face them to, so i could stay clean!
12 step work with a good sponser and a therapist helped alot. tough work, but got 18 yrs. to show for it.

Thanks,

Hey Tink, I agree with Alera here,,,
Please let us know you're alright.. Do what you think you need to do, just do not close the door to support, we all need as much as we can get...
We'll be thinking and praying for you

Love,
Becky--You're wisconsin buddy..

Thank you all for the support...It felt good to check in and to see that i was thought of and cared about...ive been feeling sick...I had another panic attack last week and it was bad enough to have to take me to the hospital for awhile...i thought i could handle it on my own, but i guess i was wrong...things started to build up, emotions, memories, the nightmares, i figured if i just lived my life i could forget the past, apparently thats not gunna work, im working with a therapist and they adjusted my medications and i have been attending some NA meetings and i even got myself a sponser...ill keep checking in. maybe ill even start posting again...i just felt so dissapointed in myself that i didnt feel like i had the right to post advice...but at least im doing a little better

Oh (((( Tink))))

Don't feel that way.. You can give as much support as the next person here

We need all the support we can get... But we need to give as well, it makes

us feel so much better, you get what you give, is what I always believe..

I have panic attacks also.. I still post advice, it's a medical condition, doesn't mean

you can not lend support to a hurting person here at SR, so please don't feel that wa..

Please stick around..

love, Becky

im not leaving...im definately gunna stick around and check up on everyone...ive been doing alot better but there is an issue that i may have some trouble with which i could use some advice about...my docter wants to try adderall with me...the strattera isint as effective and i guess its the only non addictive medication for adhd that they have...but adderall had meth in it and thats what im addicted to so im not sure about it but my parents have offered to keep the medication and theyll have to give it to me when its my time to take it...any suggestions?

1_day@_a_time

Sounds like maybe your doc is not really up on addiction, or one of us.......or perhaps he would not suggest such a medication. Maybe there is no alternative.........but would kinda doubt it. Would not matter if your parents keep the meds or not?

SO, maybe you should consider your alternatives............

Did you look at the web site I suggested?

Hi Tink,
Glad your here
I hope you find some sound medical advice, what you describe seems like a very dangerous situation. I know if I had to take any medication that contained alcohol I would not be able to take it just for medical purposes, I would abuse it right from the get go. Someone else giving it to me wouldnt work, I would just be crazed and go buy my own somewhere else,
or beat them up and take it anyway!
Is there any way to find a Doctor with some knowledge of addiction? She might go to greater lengths to find an alternative solution.
I hope you find something that works for you,
TAKE CARE :sunani

ok so the doc says were going to try strattera for another 2 weeks...we figured wed go with taking two a day to see how it works... if that doesnt work than were going to take the adderall...i dunno for sure about that though...
