Thank you for your post. Many of us have a daily struggle with health and disability of one type or another. So often this is not talked about in my meetings; perhaps it is seen as not directly related to alcoholism, perhaps even whining. But it had everything in the world to do with my using. I came home from work in raging pain and the bottle seemed to ease it and to help me get to sleep at night. But then one day it turned on me; it did not work any longer.
Thank you for your post. It helps to know that others are succeeding in staying sober with things we used to medicate, just to make it through another day or night. And now there are alternatives. I am grateful for people like you who post just what I need to hear. You are truly a conduit of God's message!
