Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Hi,
I have been sober from ETOH for 8 months. Been on this site for a couple years before I decided to get help. Here is my problem. I see an addiction specialist who prescribed me a stimulant which I have struggled with for years. I told him I was afraid I would get addicted. He said it's not possible with vyvanse. Well I did, every time it try to go off, I get very depressed, and sleep as much as I can.
I have a special needs son who needs me. And I despartely want to be off this crap. " I one realize I have cross addiction". I do have a sponsor and I do go to aa meetings. I have read all your stories, we all have dealt with a lot, and the information has been helpful. As with many of us , I have many grief issues that I am working through. I broke off an engagement and gave a ring back" he kept drinking" 3 days later my mom died, that same week my son was taken from the group home he lives in a was taken advantage of. My dear sister in law is terminal with Alzheimer's . She is only 55 yrs old. Sorry to go on, just needed to vent. Med makes me less depressed but needing more and more.
Thank you for listening songbird

OK, upon further review, it looks like you may have a medical condition that requires the wynase. If so, are there alternatives? I would see your doctor, be honest with him/her, and seek the alternatives. That would be a good starting point.
Good luck, I am sorry for the things in your life that are causing you grief, just remember your steps and don't let substance abuse be your coping mechanism.
We recover by the Steps we taKE NOT the meetings we make
