I still find staying away from drugs not a problem, as long as I don't drink. I did takre a painkiller one day. I was worried about it. My foot was in a lot of pain because of my shoes and being on my feet all day at my new job. Anytime in the past that I used painkillers I always drank with them. I didn't feel like drinking tho when I took it, but I thought I had better not try it again. It is taking a chance and I don't want to jepardise everything that I have worked for.

Yes, our disease is a tricky one. I have thought about taking something several times since starting recovery again. I have to stay on constant alert with whether or not I\'m being honest about every single thing that comes up each day. They say \"Easy Does It\" and then they say honesty is a must.........just another recovery thing that keeps me confused.
