This is not a question.  I just want to thank everyone on this website and congratulate every one who is clean!!!  I have not quite beat my addiction...It's caused many mental problems for me....but whenever I am down or having a hard time of it...I really like to read these postings....So many positive people who know exactly how I feel and what I am going through...Every addict thinks we are unique, but the truth it we all think pretty much the same way!!  Just wanted to say thanks for being there.  Sometimes life can be so negative and we just need to hear some positives.

Life is so hard for everyone...I don't mean to be religious, but my mother always said..."Satan gives his fair share of sh** to everyone!"  LOL!!  I always felt that was soooo true...We always feel that our pain/life whatever is worse than any one else. But that is simply b/c we only know what we feel...not the other person.  We only know our pain and what we feel and that is why it always seems worse...But the truth is everyone feels like that.

glad u r trying so hard krissy..it means alot to others when u  post here...more than u know

I agree...we r not unique...to us our problems seem tremendous tho..there are non-addicts who suffer out there as well...being a nurse i see this all of the time...i saw a patient my age today.i saw her 2 mths ago and she was in remission from ovarian cancer and had CT-ed 100 mcg fentnayl patch...my learning from this site helped me help her 2 mths ago...she is no longer in remission and she is hurting so bad/on morhine and percs now..quality of life can be important at this stage in life.....i couldnt help but think how sometimes we  focus too much on how bad we feel....how unlucky we r....doesnt help me feel better that someone else hurts and their life is dismal is comparison to mine..but it does make me take a recap on my own life..and perhaps how lucky I really am
