Playing with Fire
 
I know Im gonna get my cyber arse kicked for what Im gonna say. Today at 6pm will be 96hours opiate "Norco" free. I was using 90mg daily. I have been drinking alcohol to numb the withdrawall effects. It has helped with sleep but it is not a smart thing for me. I was almost 10 years alcohol "former hardcore drinker" free untill I tried quitting these painkillers a month ago. The positive note though "96 hours clean from the damned Norco!". I have a few beers left and have vowed not to buy anymore alcohol. That is one demon I should not be playing with, but the withdrawalls from the opiates were so painful I needed something. I think Im feeling the initial withdrawall symptoms beginning to subside minus insomnia and the worst "nerves in my hands and feet keeping me awake". Oh I forgot to mention that Im not claiming a sobriety date untill Im done with the alcohol too. I think I may have posted in the wrong forum forum. If an admin sees this can you move it to the correct forum if you deem it so please? Thanks.

yeah, I think you really are playing with fire.
I nearly self medicated myself to death with booze.

Why not just see a Dr?

Hi,

I agree completely with what Dee said. Your post scares me.

And, this forum is just fine for you to post.

Skinny you didn't mention what your plan was to get to a sobriety date. What are your reservations about professional advice?
