Kellamari5: If you have any insurance, have them check some bloodwork to see how your iron, hemacrit, and hemoglobin levels are. All of these cause fatigue. I am glad things are continuing to improve for you, keep going, you can do this. We are just one person here helping another, and as they say at NA meetings, only by helping others can we continue to help ourselves to stay clean. Enjoy today!!!

Kellamari: About the B12. I did see that CVS now has sublingual B12 and I was really impressed, because before you could only get vities like that through special order and they were expensive. Definitely have them monitor your B12 to make sure it doesn't get too high. I had mine checked recently and it was way over acceptable limits, so for now, I need to skip the B12 but I find that I still have tons of energy. Just passing this along to you. Cheers to staying clean!

Hey out of hope. There is always hope when your above ground. And now it is time to decide how bad do you want to be clean again? Cause the guilt your talking about is a healthy fear. I have it myself. Cause i believe if i used again it would tear my kids apart. I never knew i needed GOD until GOD was all i had left. Do you realize their is somebody out there greater than u r?

You have to resist the temptation moment by moment of each passing day. You have to search for the inner courage to keep on resisting. Come back to http://www.sobrietyonline.org for more help.

Do'nt give up, and do'nt be ashamed to go ask for help. You have already been sober for 7 years before, so you know you can do it again, perhaps for life this time. So struggle and battle. I am addicted to heroin, and although i am suffering and it is winning right now, it will not take my championship belt from me. I'm going to beat it all up and knock it out. This is why i chose the username 'CHAMPION'.

Keep hope. You can pull through this. My husband 12 yrs ago for 13 yrs was addicted to perks due to a work injury. He was introduced to heroin when Drs. took him off perks for 2 yrs. Well he landed up taking his life with heroin. He missed out on raising our 2 beautiful children. now 23 and 20. He'd be proud if he saw how they turned out. Smart,handsome,pretty,and driven. If you have someone who cares for you remember you are hurting them also besides yourself.

I love the encouragement we are giving to each other, together we can do this, but separately we cannot.

Escape from Berlin and all of us: You are so right about the pills being the new high, unfortunately too easy to access, safer than what you can buy on the street, because you know what's in them since they come from the pharmacy. The statistics are staggering how many people are addicted to prescription pain medications. Unfortunately doctors are overprescribing right now because they are afraid of being sued by someone who was in pain after surgery, from a back injury, etc. I don't think they have stopped to think about how going so far in the opposite direction is unacceptable and how it's creating addictions in people who wouldn't necessarily have become addicted had they not been overprescribed pain meds. We think that because the doctor has prescribed them, they are ok to use. It starts out innocent enough with just taking them as they are prescribed, then taking them earlier than when they are actually due and maybe taking two instead of one, and then for some, taking them in a manner in which they were not intended to be taken. Before you know it, we're addicted! Not to say we might not have been addicted to something else had we not had access to the pain meds, but chocolate is much safer :D I was watching Intervention the other night and somethings that was said so struck me, "secrets keep us sick" and "uncover, discover, discard". The secrets part is pretty easy. The "uncover, discover, discard" was pretty astounding when you think about it. When we uncover what is causing us to be addicted (and most of us are self-medicating), discover how to deal with it and then discard it. Today is Friday and I know it's the most difficult part of the week for many of us, with it being payday and having 2 days off, I know we can all stay clean and sober and not go back to our old ways. Enjoy your weekend and live life clean and sober!
