One of my close friends has been relapsing since December on pain pills. She has a back injury from the past, and I had gone with her to her doctor's appointment to help explain to the doctor that she is a pain pill addict and alcoholic. He had her on a pain patch that her boss was keeping and giving to her at work. She ended up finding pills at her dad's when she visited over Christmas. She didn't tell any of us when she came back and even picked up a 6 month chip. She finally got honest with me and her sponsor and was trying to get clean again. She even had a patch in her mouth one night when we were all hanging out. She's now back in rehab and very depressed. She can't believe she let this happen. She drank on the plane on the way to rehab too. She's calling me and her sponsor every day from rehab. I'm hoping she really hit her bottom this time. I just had to share, because I know this whole experience has made me see how close I could be to all of this too, if I don't stay honest.
