What To Say

just want to say I am a recovering pill addict as well. I want to say its hard coming off of pills because we justify them. For me, I thought because I got them from my DR. I wasn't doing anything wrong. I would really like to share my story with you and hope it could help you in some way. I put my daughter through a lot so I can relate to how your feeling. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am right there with you. My mother has been addicted to prescription pills for 20 years now. It has been harder and harder over the years. Currently she is taking Lortab, Morphine, Xanax, and Soma. So many that I loose count. I have recently cut her out of my life because the emotional hell I have lived in has become to much to bear on my husband and son. I cannot and will not allow her to mentally destroy my child the way she has my brother and myself. I love her, but what can you do? I have tried everything. I have stood by her when she had no one else. It has never been enough. I pray that your mother is able to overcome. No one should have to go through that kind of misery. The addict doesn't understand what they are doing to the people around them.
