[QUOTE="Mama Raygun, post: 507560, member: 13907"] Ok for some reason my last paragraph wasn't on the post.... So to continue I was eventually diagnosed as having ADD and depression with anxiety and panic attacks. I was a mess but life got better. I met my husband and best friend when I had been clean for almost a year. He was 4 yrs clean and he helped me so much. Over the next few years we built a nice little life together. I went back to school for veterinary technology and graduated w straight A's. I gave birth to my second son in 05. Don't get me wrong life isn't perfect, I still struggle with my anxiety and ADD, tho I no longer have panic attacks. Also the addictive part of my brain is still there. It's something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. Last year I got hurt at work and was prescribed pain pills. I thought I would be fine, I had been doing so well for years and I never had a problem with opiates. But things quickly spiraled and I had to admit to myself and my family that I once again needed help. That was so hard to do b/ c my poor mom had no idea I was struggling again. So anyway I hope I helped someone out there see things do get better, there is life after drug addiction. In fact I might even cherish it more after going thru what I did. My whole purpose in life now is to do everything in my power to prevent either of my boys from from experiencing all that pain and misery. [/QUOTE]
