Since working the twelve steps I've been able to replace those drugs with my program. I really feel this type of addiction is not talked about. It's hard to find other addicts who have this problem. My husband is 2 years in recovery and is an Addict. That means he cannot take, use, pick up or drink ANY drug.
Recovery is a life long commitment.
These expensive, over regulated, over analyzed programs of 7 weeks or 3 months or 30 days are worthless. Commitment to a recovery program is a commitment to changing your life every day, one day at a time, for the rest of your life. No insurance necessary - only commitment and surrender. Four years ago my daughter had major knee surgery and was prescribed vicodin for pain. Her doctor gave her prescriptions for 60 to 100 pills at a time, sometimes several times a week.
