May 14th will be a year

may 14th will be a year that I have been off 180mg of Oxycontin a day for 13 years. I had to get off them because of loss of insurance. I have had chronic back pain for 22 years after an injury and failed surgery. I was here alone for the 4 weeks it took me to get off them. I walked across hell and came out on the other side. I still have unmeasurable pain and struggle every day to walk. There is not a day goes by that I dont want one for the pain. But I have found a strength I never thought I still had. To all trying to be free of whatever. It is possible. It wont be easy but oh so worth it. Faith can move mountains.
