First Post

Hi, I am new to this forum and let me say just how glad I am to find this!!

I had 3+ years of sobriety from drugs (latest addiction was hydrocodone) and alcohol. That was until around Thanksgiving when I got hydrocodone for some oral surgery. I began doing my will and by Christmas I was getting orders of 90 to 100+ pills of 10 mg. hydrocodone.

I'm on my 20th hour of detox and by the Grace of my merciful God who hears prayers and the honesty that I had with confessing to my sweet husband, I am surviving and so incredibly grateful to be back on the road to purity and walking in the Light!!

thanks for letting me post. I hope I did this right. Have NO idea how to get around in this blog and I'm not one to read directions. Take 1 pill every 6 hours? yeah right. . .more like take 6 pills every 1-2 hours.

One last thing. . .you know how they say your addiction is doing push ups even when you're not using?? IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Sober Recovery Grace...

Alcohol was my downfall, but any addiction is hell...

I see you have found Misti's thread. Loads of good info there and other threads on the Substance abuse forum...

Stay Strong and Positive...

One day at a time.
