That's terrible sweetie. My father and mother are alcoholics. I know that

means there is a percentage of a chance that I might could have been one too,

but I think it's been long enough to tell. I'm sorry you have to struggle

through without help. I just got some help a few months ago and it has helped

me tremendously.

I'm sorry and be strong,

approx. 9-10 years. I was diagnosed 4 years ago.

my pain and that I shouldn't be on so much pain medication. My

husband just thinks I am being lazy to get out of doing some of the

housework. It is all so very frustrating.

Thank goodness for this group. It feels like it has opened my world

alittle.

> I don't drive because of meds I am on. I am not on that many pain

meds but am afraid that if I got pulled over and the police thinks I

take vicodin that I might get a dui. I take one every 6 hrs. I know

that I am overly paranoid but that is me. My kids freaked when they

found out I take vicodin. I am in constant pain. I try to do

stretches and take hot baths when the pain gets so bad that I can't

stand another minute. I used to get mad at my family but this has

been going on for so long that it doesn't even bother me anymore.
