a story but i think its appropriate for this side..

i cant believe i havent told you all about this,but i forgot until we went thru my moms things..back in 2001 my mom called me and said the strangest thing had happened,she had gotten up in the middle of the night to take half a pain pill (dk what,i never took anything from her) and she said she couldnt cut it in half because there was no score line...and that half the pills had lines in them and half didnt...so im thinking a bad pharmicist..called my brothers...next thing you know its on channel 2 news...because my moms pastor had been picking up her meds for her (she loved him) and had been switching whatever opiate she was on with aspirin!!! which could have killed her since she was on coumadin..so we went to court and he lost his license had to go to rehab.....im not going to give his name as much as i would like..plus the fact that who am i to judge him you know...(since eventually i became an addict) but i guess the thing im trying to say is it can get anyone..he had been doing this for years,not with just her of course...

i am so proud of you lady! i hope i find strength like yours if i am ever put in a position like that. my parents were catholic, so i kinda got used to horror stories involving the clergy. i had a bishop grab my behind at the gathering following my mother's memorial service, a service that he led. gross.
   all of us are only human and none are above having urges. sway
   p.s. the 'head-on' is helping.

Congrats on the BIG FLUSH, I dont think I have told this on here, But I was a PASTOR, when I got hurt. You know the fact of the matter is ANYONE CAN BECOME AN ADDICTT, I would give anything had I not got hurt and took the frist pain pill, I wish they had never been thought of. But none of us would have gotten where we were had we not taken that frist pill, or drink or whatever your DOC, Im crying as I write this because I cant belive I had gotten BACK INTO ADDICTION AFTER I HAD BEEN FREED form it once a long time ago well befor I was ever a Pastor or went to church for that mater. But that goes to show you we are truly all alike and given the right circumstance any of us are capable of anything!! THAT IS WHY WE NEED GOD!! Because we all have done soooo wrong with are lives, and I messed mine up twice, But Like he said, He Never Left Me Nor Forgot me He was There All The Time and when I asked him he lifted me back up!! I should have told everyone on here about who I was when I fell so far. But after you hit bottom there is nowhere else to go but up!!

Congrats on flusing them!  I am not surprised at all by your story.  Addiction effects everyone and pill addiction - oh boy.  I hear jokes, comments, or see some  kind of reference to vicodin, painkillers almost every day but all kinds of people.  Its incredible and sad and humbling at the same time.
