geiser

After a few rambling posts I've evaluated and re evaluated my life. I want to thank all of you for sharing. . .like everyone here and elsewhere we all have stress triggers many in chronic pain. I went though a pity party for myself. Had already talked to my physician about a drinking pattern that was soon to be spiraling out of control to self medicate for pain anxiety depression any number of reasons. Of course I'm now concerned that its part of my permanent record but in reality it needed to be addressed. It surely is a slippery slope. I have enough health issues and cannot afford to make them worse with alcohol or another pain pill or an anti anxiety drug-just as bad in the absence of alcohol. Somehow somewhere the truly addictive part of my personality justified my actions. I want to thank Dee74 for looking at my rambling and responding. When I made a decision to eliminate alcohol and other addictive medications I am relieved. I am grateful to everyone on this site.thanks It takes time to clear the intoxicated mind .
