Wear that experience like a badge of courage my friend. What most don’t realize is that every day from here on out is your recovery,and some days are not easy. Having something like detecting to do is a huge help,cuz as we know,idle hands are the devils workshop!
I have a feeling that you will get MANY responses. It’s very good to see that one more has decided that enough is enough,like many of us have. My battle with painkillers went on for a long long time,and finally I got into a Suboxone program that WORKS. Sometimes it’s not easy to talk about but eventually it gets to the point that if you DONT...you will die. Damned be the opinionated,cherished be the understanding. It’s situations such as these that let you know who your friends really are.
Welcome back Mike.
