24 year old addict in serach of advice

Thanks to both. I might avoid AA but do private counseling and this university support group. Might fit me more to be in a group of peers.

1 month.. wow. Congrats!

Take the time to celebrate in a non-intoxicating way. It's good practice, and you get to have some fun as well.
 
Hey. I'm doing okay. Thanks thanks. Start back to class next Monday. Went to Graceland for Elvis week and had a beer at a live music deal with my dad for the first time (only 1). Kind of cool to be able to. Had a good time. I am still feigning for pills tho... So far hanging in there and taking it 1 day at a time. In worried about class and my back hurting.
 
Sorry you're hurting Tham. Can you take ibuprofen because that might help.
How is school going? The summer went by fast!
 
I take ibuprofen 800mg and tylenol around the clock. Doesn't touch the pain. And honestly i'm not sure how I will make it through the long days and study nights without something to control my pain. Thats all I can think about. It sucks bad. Embryology, ecology, an organic lab, spanish, cellular bio. 3 x 4 hour labs... Then studying at night. This doesn't bother me until my pain gets to be too much. Yeah the summer did fly by.
 
Tham<3 sorry the pain is still there.. I did have back pain from withdrawal for four or five months.. lower back and shoulder blade down the upper and mid back and it went away completelly.

Lidocaine patches, steroid injections, and please look into physical therapy and massage. But I bet physical therapy will be the thing that will get you better.
 
6 months now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Whats up guys. I'm checking in. Man its still not gravy but things are good. Not every day in consumed with the thought of pills. Seriously never thought that day would come. Thanks everyone for all the support! I really from the bottom of my heart will be forever in debt to y'all. It was an unbearable amount of pain to get to this point but damn was it worth it! Not everything is perfect in my life but I'm one step closer to a life I want for myself and my wife. I also have almost another semester of school under my belt and the hardest yet. After this semester no more BIO's for my major!!!!!!
