I am a recovering heroin addict. I went to rehab out of state. Then continued onto sober living where i stayed for 2 months. During this time i met someone also in recovery and moved in with him straight out of sober living. I'm still in another state where i don't know anyone. I was pretty happy during sober living but i find myself getting depressed and having a lot of mood swings. I'm by myself a lot and at 5 months clean i relapsed. I have chronic pain due to a birth defect. I went to the ER they gave me vicodin. I almost had myself convinced that It would be a good idea to go to the pain specialist and get a prescription which i could obtain easily. I very luckily came to my senses. But coming that close has me shook. I can't tell if all this back pain i feel is due to my onslaught of depression or if the depression is due to early recovery or situational.

sunnyD, I don't know much about drug addictions other than alcohol. But I do know that hanging out here will never hurt and will often help.

Geno, Happy early three day birthday from a fellow Sept. 20th ... erm... ist!

Hope you're both doing well.
