Well it's about time I say it out loud, or in text. I'm an addict to prescription narcotics. I have been for a while now. I've always known it but never wanted to address it because it seemed so difficult to stop it. Now, today, I have realized it NEEDS to stop. I know it's going to be hard but I'm allowing it to control my life. I have a kid and I just don't think he deserves a mother like this. I try to hide it but I think he's at an age where he's now seeing it. I have a viable reason to be on prescription narcotics but I never take them correctly. Today though I realized I'm going to be taking someone down with me and they don't deserve it. I had another account on here but realized how public it was. I'm going to try and figure out how to delete it. Prospective employers probably have seen it. That's another thing, my addiction is controlling me screw up job after job after job. I need to take control and I need help but I need to know if anyone on her is able to. I'm not good with large groups of people or people in general so I'm not going to go to a group meeting but I'm hoping that people on here can help me. I need it. I want it and I want this to be over. I'm to old to let something or someone take control of my life for me. I think it's time to be in the drivers seat. Does anyone have any advise for me?
