I am struggling. My drug of choice was pain killers... opiates to be exact. I live with chronic pain, which is how the whole situation started. I am having a really hard time coping with being in pain every day when I know if I just take something it would give me at least some relief. The doctors have tried many alternatives and treatments but I am still miserable. I have been drinking a lot of turmeric tea and using a CBD menthol muscle rub but that just seems to dim it for about 30 mins at a time and even then it's just a smidge of relief. The urge to use is real right now.

Joe, I feel for you! You are in a very difficult situation. However, I’ve seen others in the program similar circumstances. Don’t give up! Keep talking to other recovering addicts and you will find solutions.
I’ll be praying for you🙏. I’m here if you want to talk
Hang in there Joe ... Sorry your doctor's can't be more helpful .. it gets better the longer you stay clean believe me...one day at a time
