hi
new here. 28 yrs old about to get my ba. married with a wonderful husband and 20 mo. old son. and relapsing slowly on pain pills. not alot but enough to scare me. have in the past had three yrs sober. I feel like i will never escape this feeling. the urge has come back so strong lately and i dont want to do this again. come from a long line of family addiction. and i want better for me and for my family. my depression was my trigger this time actually all the time. (on meds for this). I just need the inspiration /hope that long term sobriety and recovery is possible....bc right now it feels like its not.

Welcome blackcat! Sobriety is possible, and there are many people around here as proof. Read around SR. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi blackcat

Welcome

I think support is vital - you'll find a lot of support here. You might also like to check out our substance abuse forum.

Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

What about real life support as well - have you seen your Dr? or you interested a recovery group like NA?

Welcome to SR ((Blackcat))! You don't have to go back down that road again. My relapse was about 2 weeks, did a lot of damage, but I got back on "recovery road" and that's been a few years ago.

SR has been a huge part of my recovery. Glad you're here!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
