Lightbulb I wish it wasn't so but not only am I an alcoholic I'm an addict

I shot morphine a couple times a month or two ago and woke up a sleeping giant. I used to a lot of vicodin ten years ago then two years ago thought it was behind me. But the beast is back. Just wanted to admit I was an addict. Day seven. Had 3 1/2 years once that was four years ago.

Actually today is day one klonopin perscribed has been making me crave alcohol like a madman. So now it's way easier to stay sober. And yes were star seeds.

Yes I have a plan I made it 27 hours without taking a klonopin then had no choice it was take one or drink. And if I drink again i'm afraid I'm gonna die. Sorry this is substance abuse I don't abuse klonopin what I'm I'm saying is i want ti stop but i'm gonna have to taper now I have cold turkry 30 750 mg vikes before. What I'm saying is it hits the same receptors as alcohol so how am I gonna lose the obsession to drink why I'm taking it it's my theory, I'm only gonna take one when I feel like I'm gonna pass out from with drawal prn not just because the bottle says take this much.

How are you doing? Thinking about you. You can go to NA even on benzos. Just know you are not alone.

How are you doing?? You okay?? Let us know. I am in horrible benzo wds, so I feel your pain. I was taking 1 and a half mgs a day and went cold turkey, so when I say I understand, I really do. I am here for you, and you can pm me if you like. Benzo wds are no joke.
I am thinking about you, and you are in my prayers. Just remember, like Final said, you are not alone. We are stumbling down the same path together.

Hell I've addicted to everything I've only been going to AA I don't want to be one but I'am . Opiates porn gambling alcohol sex with paranoid schizophrenia the ruled out that it was not caused by any drug. Hey two weeks off everything but benzos but I have to say I was so paranoid people where following and stuff anxiety was threw the roof. I'll get off the benzos but first the other monster have to be dealt with.
