I drug so much because of my job. I work in a stressful environment that I am at all day. Last night I cut my knuckle off and a piece of the bone(my knives are very sharp) with it. That was at 3:30pm and I had to work the entire night still. I couldn't go to the hospital because if I did then I would be abandoning my position. So instead I was patched up by one of my guys with lemon, saran wrap, and scotch tape. When I went to the hospital they tried to give me pain meds and a needle to numb the pain. I had to refuse because I love pills and how they make me feel NUMB. So I got 5 sutures without any meds. On top of it I was prescribed pain pills for the pain. I have not yet filled the prescription which is very tempting because I want to just eat them all. I can't take Aleve or Advil because those are triggers that will just make me want to get a better high. I need to change my career before this filed is the death of me. Any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated. Also, what do you take for pain when your an addict who struggles with addiction. I'm reaching out to my loosid family for your support. Please help.
White willow bark is an herb you can take. It’s where aspirin originally came from before they started synthesizing it. You’d have to look up the proper dose for pain relief. Often it is mixed with turmeric cause of its anti-inflammatory properties. There is one brand called Terry Naturally Extra Strength Pain Relief which is a mix of herbs including a patented form of turmeric. It definitely helps with pain, comparable to Advil.
You need to get help yourself be happy and not feel that way
Do you work in America? Did you file a workers comp claim? They should never have had you continue working after an injury like that. Id recommend you speak to your HR department about your concerns. Looking for another job sounds like a good idea for your overall happiness and recovery.
Thank you so much. My team is Haitian and today they cooked down seamoss with some other herbs for my pain. It helped for the most part. I am all about the natural remedies. Tomorrow when I go in I'm going to call my sales rep and ask her if she can get me that. Irene I really appreciate you taking the time out. 
Yes I work in America and I'm the director. Not to mention that's what chefs do we patch ourselves up or have someone else in the kitchen do it for us if we're unable. I've gotten sutures from my garde manger chef who used to be a veterinarian in wahaca, mexico. I'm not to concerned about the cut but more of the fact that I am easily triggered by anything. And yes workers compensation paid for it.
Glad you are okay 
and Irene had good ideas for help
Sea moss is great and full of natural minerals your body needs to function and detox. I love learning about herbs and have been studying them on my own for some time
