October 18 2012.
Small decision to relapse on October 26th but made a choice to stop and leave the situation after just a couple of minutes. I know that technically that may make my Birthday the 26th but I like to relate my actual date to the struggle with detox and withdrawal and never experience that again. THAT was the weekend of October 18th.

Still on a prescription but i am working the steps whether you agree or not i feel it to be the correct thing to do... I am working the first step now and have not use any other drugs other than my script which i have reduced from 40mls to 30mls over the last 4 weeks and plan to be at 0mls very soon and will obviously reset my Clean date to 0 at that point 2 but anyway date of last street drug or other drug other than prescribed drug is 24th Feb 2013...

***STOP READING IF YOU DONT WANT TO HERE MY RANT ETC***

***STOOD ON MY SOAP BOX***

Prior to any harsh comments about me being on a script and working the step I would just like to refer you to the booklet called: NA Groups & Medication Page 5, DRUG REPLACEMENT...

If this seems defensive I do have method to this and that is that in my area so far I have received nothing but negativity around this and been told "whats the point coming if youre not clean"... I do know I am not clean but I still feel strongly that I get loads out of the NA Program and in fact it is NA and the 12 Steps that are helping me remain motivated towards abstinence and I have a Desire to Stop using all Drugs so this is why I am fully entitled to attend NA Meetings... I will Keep Coming Back (In fact I plan to stay)... Thanx to all those people I have met in the Virtual Skype Meetings, they have single headedly helped me not give up on recovery again I might add and stay ya know... Thanx to NA and all those people who can see the true NA message around addiction and recovery that all that is required is a desire to stop using and move towards Abstinence...

Its lucky for me I have thick skin and I truly see that this program can and does work but most of all thanx to me for being open to learning...

CLEAN TIME DOESN'T EQUAL RECOVERY.......But grateful that I have it!

Dustina ILia · Veteran Member

The ONLY requirement for membership is a "DESIRE" to stop using. It is merely a suggesstion that you come to the meetings and come to them clean. It is not my job
to work anyone elses recovery. Honestly doesn't magically arrive just because we walk into the rooms of NA. I have to allow other people's H.P. to work with them in areas that they might not be interested in. Just show up and you will grow up.

Dustina ILia · Veteran Member

My clean time is between me and my H.P. and my Sponsor. It says very little in the book about the taking of medications other than my recovery is my responsibility, I have to be honest with my Doctors in informing them that I am an addict and I have to look at why I am taking a medication. Is it because I actually need it or am I trying to get high off of it or it's familiar behavior to take more than is needed. I had people tell me when I had five years clean that I was not clean because of the medications I was having to take for Chronic Myloid Leukemia (Cancer of the Blood) and yes, it altered my way of thinking but Recovery is about living today and learning to love myself and today I do not want to die merely because others wish to question my clean time because I am choosing to live. I was honest with all of my Doctors, I inform them each and every time that I go in to see my Doctors and my Sponsor knew what I was taking and I took responsibility for the taking of the medication.

Brian_YellowEyes · Veteran Member

This is a program of total abstinence. There are times, however, such as in cases of health problems involving surgery and/or extreme physical injury, when medication may be valid. This does not constitute a license to use. There is no safe use of drugs for us. Our bodies dont know the difference between the drugs prescribed by a physician for pain and the drugs prescribed by ourselves to get high. As addicts, our skill at self-deception will be at its peak in such a situation. Often our minds will manufacture additional pain as an excuse to use. Turning it over to our Higher Power and getting the support of our sponsor and other members can prevent us from becoming our own worst enemies. Being alone during such times would give our disease an opportunity to take over. Honest sharing can dispel our fears of relapse.

Serious illness or surgery can present particular problems for us. Physicians should have specific knowledge of our addiction. Remember that we, not our doctors, are ultimately responsible for our recovery and our decisions. To minimize the danger, there are a few specific options that we may consider. Using local anesthesia, avoiding our drug of choice, stopping drug use while we are still hurting, and spending extra days in the hospital in case withdrawal occurs are some of our options.

From Watching my Mother with cancer...it is a painful experience. To have a quality of life that is not just sleeping to avoid pain, we may need a medication that alters our mind. Let the ones that state you are not clean know to mind their own business.
