Hey everyone, I’m actually struggling at this very moment with my back. I just had surgery in September 2022. I woke up and could barely walk and then to get dressed was very challenging. Today I’m grateful to be seeing the Surgeon this afternoon. Being patient sitting in the parking lot. Uugghh it’s crazy. But I’m grateful I made it here safe. Grateful to be supportive to one of my good friends in recovery. Grateful to recognize self care and how important it is. Grateful for hot cereal in the morning. Grateful for prayer and meditation at 4am. Grateful for Early Bird meetings online at 7am online. Grateful I am share my experience strength with someone who is struggling in the program. Grateful for love and tolerance. Grateful to be clean n sober today by the Grace of God. Grateful to have met with my sponsor on Saturday. Grateful to the men an women in the program who see no other way than to stay clean and sober. Grateful for all of you on this app around the world. Have a very Blessed day 
Hoping you feel better
I had back surgery last year and it was a giant success!!! I regret not having it fixed sooner. The recovery was way better than I thought and the surgery was less pair than my pain before. I have tips on managing pain after the surgery if your opioid resistant like I am, i hope the best for you
Stay Strong but be Easy!
Thank you
Thank you, honestly I’m a strong woman in recovery I guess at times I don’t give myself enough credit when do
Yes I spoke to the Surgeons Asst. I described what exactly is going on. I can understand why I’m in so much pain. She made it clean. Different strokes for different folks. Not exactly those words but some experience a change in pain , continually constant pain. Said the tools in my low back look good and that I’m healing good. It hasn’t even been 6 months..anyways I’m just grateful to be home beautiful day to hit a meeting and chill.
Well, I have some form of pain every day of my life and I just try to push my way through it
I wake in the morning and I am blessed. Not a broken bone in my body and I thank the Lord Jesus every day.
I pray for the Lord Jesus will smile down on you and guide you on a path of speedy recovery.
Aawww thank you so much. I wish that be the truth. I’m healing everyday and yes God knows I struggle with this. I’m so tiny with little muscle in my low back that the I do certain exercises. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen overnight. I’m expecting instant gratification and I know I shouldn’t. It hasn’t even been 6 months. Yes waking up everyday with his presence asking God do your will and not mine use me today to reach out to someone who needs help. Bless you again for prayer. Prayers work..
Right!! That’s all we can do is push through it. Like I said some days are better than others. Today was bad 
Grateful for all of you!! Have a great evening everyone 
One day at a time
