I'm sorry. You know Curt Cobain had v similar issues with physical pain and heroin (his was stomach pain)... Can't they give you painkillers that are better? Don't American drs hand out that "oxy" stuff like sweets? They say 5mg of that is equiv to 3mg diamorph (if I remember rightly)... which makes it really strong (stronger than morphine)... Please take care of yourself...<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Pussinboots:</STRONG> yeah but I end up whitewashing even in a subtle way when I have used and people assume I have not it's been getting more difficult just to say it...<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Janice:</STRONG> I shall<STRONG> TRY!</STRONG>Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-36053193972082511392008-12-23T07:45:00.000+00:002008-12-23T07:45:00.000+00:00Hi Gledwood,I've heard this for most of my life. I...Hi Gledwood,<BR/><BR/>I've heard this for most of my life. I'm not addicted but I have been around those who are.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you felt ill enough to fall off the wagon again. The drug is a laying bitch, and you don't need it, it is what is keeping you ill. I know you feel well when you take it but that's the lie that it tells you.<BR/><BR/>Be strong the next time you hear its siren call.<BR/><BR/>I think you are strong enough to go sober.<BR/><BR/>Have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year!<BR/><BR/>Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-19672868186754234312008-12-23T05:53:00.000+00:002008-12-23T05:53:00.000+00:00I read your post, Gleds, and found it utterly terr...I read your post, Gleds, and found it utterly terrifying. You're right, people like me, who haven't a clue about using drugs, have no idea what it's like. Anyone reading what you've described, if they had an ounce of sense, would run a mile from drugs. But there are always, always those who say "it won't happen to me".<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think it takes a lot of guts to put up a blog, such as you have, and strip drug addiction down to the bare bones. I feel for you and the countless others caught in this trap...but I would have no idea what I would do if either of my kids or any one of my grandkids had become caught up in the evil web of drugs.<BR/><BR/>You're very articulate, Gleds, and I think you could make money out of writing...Puss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092261346236962635.post-23191081962634248692008-12-23T03:28:00.000+00:002008-12-23T03:28:00.000+00:00I don't know how to respond to this. I feel like s...I don't know how to respond to this. I feel like saying, "I agree with what you're saying," is just dumb because it's obvious that I am going to. I keep thinking back to things, and how drugs, specifically opiates but others as well, have changed my perspective. They gave me stability and control when I had none. They also took it all away. It makes everything I don't want to deal with disappear or appear in a way that I can handle. It makes me feel good, all over, and my arthritis ceases to exist. As some say, it really is the ultimate salve.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: yes. Not that you needed to hear that. = )Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710426634777477761noreply@blogger.com
