Painkillers.., f***ing pain pills. In 2007 I was in a car accident and I broke my neck. I didn't even like pain pills, but I got hurt and there they were. I've never really been on a website like this but it seems like it could help. After being on and off all kinda pain meds the past seven years I decided to check myself into treatment back in May. I was there for 35 days and it wasn't that bad, I thought it was the answer. I came home and did ok for a couple months, "white knuckled" it as they say for a while. Then after a couple time gettin high I was right back where I started. Addiction is an a******, it makes me so mad, sad,confused and lost. I admit I haven't really done the work or put as much into recovery as I should have. Probably still in some form of denial, it's hard to admit it when something takes over your life in such a way that it makes u hopeless. I just hope that by joining this site i can hear back from survivors with inspiring stories and from fellow brothers or sisters who still struggle with the struggle. We can help each other, I know we can.
