Improvement

I feel a little bit better. Some tenderness, but hydrocodone seems to help. Maybe I'll actually be able to eat some food today! I have considered vivitrol, but would rather not go down that route if I can help myself. I kicked the bottle for six months after my first attack, swore off the stuff and thought I would never go back...but here we are. Definitely something I'll be consideing since chronic pancreatitis sounds like true hell on earth. Wish I could just drink like a normal person, but I know I can't.

Pancreatitis is pretty serious and can become chronic. The pancreas doesn't regenerate and heal as well as the liver does. I know six months of sobriety seems like a lot but if you find yourself frequently relapsing, even briefly, you may want to consider adding more insurance to your sobriety toolset. Please don't think I'm judging as I'm not - I was a chronic relapser and would stop for six months to year and then relapse again. I found that each subsequent relapse was harder on my body. I wasn't too keen on Vivitrol at first either, but once I got the shot I couldn't be happier; not only did it eliminate cravings but it also greatly reduced my anxiety and made early recovery so much easier. I don't know how you are, but my anxiety is always ridiculously high whenever I first quit. Just food for thought.

Still sick. Meh.

I hope you feel better!

Psychotic

I hope everything is okay! You have so much going for you right now (beautiful girlfriend, beautiful daughter, you live in the middle of paradise), try to focus on the positive.

Pained.

What's going on?

There was a study back in college that alleged that body aches are psychological in most cases if you are young. Specially if they move from one place to the other. If this is not related to anything you know, most of people agree that physical problems often are caused by emotional factors. This can be pretty obvious to some, but it wasn't for me. Try to relax as much you possibly can and know that this will pass. Good luck Nixiam! Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the cheery bit, Erikmen.

Tai Chi really helps.

Hope you get better Nixiam. I'm believe you'll get over whatever is bothering you.
Take care!

Okay

I'm battling Oxy dependency.

Oxymetazoline, that is.

Stupid nasal spray. Used it for too long and got my stupid nose dependent. Now when I don't take it my nose swells.

Oh well. Not a big deal in comparison.

Of all the things I thought I'd end up dependent on...

I have also been involved with opiates since I was very young. I think it's better when you quit while you still have a life ahead of you.
I believe you have the power to get over this. If I did, anyone can..
I wish you all the strength you need to get over this.
