Its That Time! June 2014 Roll Call!!
This year is sure flying by. Its already June! So anyways...here we are. This thread is a place where you can post your clean time or just introduce yourself. You do not have to be clean to post here. If your "lurking" take this as an opportunity to introduce yourself. If you have some clean time, post it so it can encourage and inspire others by showing them it can be done.
This forum is a great place. Old and new members alike contribute everyday and share whats worked for them in recovery. I like to encourage that because there are so many different recovery options out there. You just have to find what works for you. So maybe this roll call could be a little different this time and not only can people share there clean time but also what program they use to stay clean. Just a thought anyways.

I am Jinx and I am new here. had another account, but with this fentanyl fog I am in lost all my info, so made it easy on myself and started over. wasn't too hard because I had just found this wonderful site. oh well.
I used to take pain meds for DDD and spinal stenosis as well as scar tissue built up around my tailbone. I thought that pain was HORRIBLE.
then i fell off the roof and broke my back, hip and pelvis and it is then that I knew severe pain. I would give anything to have my old pain back.
i had built up such a tolerance to opiate medication taking it for at least 15 yrs and now this pain is VERY hard to control. now I feel stuck and i am hoping that my doctor will find a surgery to cure it all. doubtful.
I had struggled with the opiates on and off those 15 yrs and found myself taking them when I got stressed out or was depressed, etc. basically, starting abusing them. got off of them shortly before my accident, but had a massive tolerance. I had no insurance and no job because I had not even learned to walk again. so then I started drinking. I hate the taste of alcohol, but it was cheap. I would wake up take 5 or 6 shots, pass out and repeat the entire 24 hrs, 7 days a week. then I stopped that because I found out I was pregnant. suffered horribly, but would do it all over again. rebroke my pelvic bones in labor.
finally got insurance and now I am on the fentanyl patch and percocet 4x a day as needed.
the pain is unbearable most days. it is a daily challenge to take prn as prescribed. i have been thinking since they do not seem to be helping maybe I should just get off them all and find some other way to control the pain.
