Back to Square One
I managed to kick my oxycontin habit without having to involve my trusting doc. I have my psychologist's appointment …
I was forced to retire early due to chronic lower back pain. I am very happily married and have no children. My wife is a wonderful person. She has confidence and high self-esteem. She is my best friend, so I must be doing something right. I am broadly educated and have lived an adventurous and physically active life. I am pretty much an asshole with a golden core and "I coulda been a somebody". I am a cynical person but not without a sense of humour. I have suffered from depression most of my life and have self-medicated with food, sex, drugs, sports and work. I am beginning to see my own mortality and have decided to search my soul full-time. My goal is to be unafraid when death comes to my door. In the meantime, I hope to be able to give something back and perhaps experience some true peace and happiness.

I have had back pain since my early twenties due to congenital problems. I have put my body through a great deal of hard play and labor. I was ambushed by Sciatica in August 2007. After the dust settled, the diagnosis is lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis. I am now an official chronic pain patient.
Want to feel that I am not alone in this. Maybe I can be helpful at the same time.
