Hi!  A RED SOX fan!!!  Me too!

What could I help you with?  You're probably threw with withdrawal for the most part, at least physically. Now you're in a pretty vulnerable place and that is how to stay away from the pills!!   You have to work at it,Sweetie.  You need to reach out as you have here and just ask your family and friends for support.

Next you need some kind of professional help. It can come from where ever you find comfort. Maybe your doctor,meetings like AA, a recovery program, a member of the clergy,etc...You need the support and you need to learn the tools to help you stay sober and move forward in your life.  Most folks with a significant amount of clean time have sought outside help for their recovery. Not everyone does,and some people do just fine without any aftercare,but not very many.


Can you tell us what you've been taking and for how long?

Stay in touch...there is a lot of support here!
