Hi all!im cindy and I'm an addict!(: I'm very new to this forum and just posted a reply to a 2 yr old post!LOL!!brain so isn't right! I'm really grateful to be clean today and I wanted to pose a dilemma I face in my life. As I said in my other post,I have been coming around Na since 1989..I relapsed with 13 years clean and now have almost 2 years clean next month god willing! I was diagnosed with crohns disease and I struggle alot with so many things around it..do I go to the er or not?..usually a humiliating experience as I am a frequent flier and I cringe when I see them roll their eyes like..oh here she comes again! And the ever present question..pain vs pain meds. I do everything I can that is non medicinal such as physical therapy,nutrition changes,therapy..yet that only goes so far for me. All my doctors know I'm in recovery and I try to the best of my ability to remain an active member by going to meetings and doing service work.
My physical illness limits me and it frustrates me!i miss way too much b/c I can't leave my apartment frequently due to really bad diarrhea. It's hard to imagine things being THAT bad but it's something I powerless over.
I just wanted to kinda introduce myself and make a connection..when I'm in a flare up(like now), my meeting attendance goes down to a couple of meetings a week so this is great!!thanks for letting me share!!(:
