My God Clarissa, Havin been a pill user too, I can really identify with doin em to overcome shyness.....
Havin said that, the Basic Text states clearly that we need to be careful when under medication. We need to inform the medics about our allergy. Then aain, we need to surround ourselves with NA members in these times, who care for our recovery.
The fundamental thing is that our bodies and our addictive personalities will not know the difference tween medication prescribed by a doctor or drugs we prescribe for ourselves.
Recovery is my responsibility and in kivin life on life's terms, there will always be those moments when we want to go and use rather than face feelings. Experience has shown that the ure to use will pass and each time I did not use, my confidence in this Program increased....
May God Keep you Blessed with Clean and Serene times....

Our purpose is to remain clean,just for today,and to carry the message of recovery.
Welcome to this discussion board. Try getting to an NA meeting. You'll find people there who can relate to what you're going through and some experience, strength, and hope. I know you've got a lot of stress in your life, but drugs will not make things better, only worse.
Welcome! You have found a wonderfully supportive and helpful website. But we are still only a virtual support. When all is said and done you need to connect with real people in your area. At NA.org there are links to the helpline and meetings in your area. You are shy, so why not call, and introduce yourself only by first name. Ask for a young mom to call you. You are not alone. Many have come before you with similar fears and doubts. You can get through this and live a healthy productive life for your children and yourself.
