So i have been clean going on six months. But now i tore my rotator cup and the pain is some of the worst i ever had. Prescription drugs ain’t doing anything. Im thinking of going back to smoking weed and doing coke and alcohol to ease the pain. But I’ve been doing so well being sober and im afraid if i go back i wont quit again. Any ideas for pain relief dont know how long i can hold on. HELP

I don’t know what that specific injury feels like, but I do know the desperation for relief. Have you asked about non addictive options, physical therapy, even stuff like ice, heat, and topical creams.

The fact that you’re scared you might not come back if you use tells me you care about your sobriety. I’ve been in that spot where it felt like I couldn’t hold on much longer. Letting it out and taking through it works.

Don't give up
