Pain meds

Hi @BringbackMat

Great to have you here on the forums.
The pain and in particular working so physically must be really difficult and I can hear that you are wanting to hear from others who might have experienced AOD recovery am I right?

I’m not aware of the types of supports you have around you right now, but I’m just wondering if you have any support’s from a GP around the back injury/pain? Or whether that would be something to look into? That's such a lengthy time period to be managing such a persistent situation.

Just adding this.... You may also find this online resource which is available useful - they have so much relevant information and resources on their website.

Hi bird. Thx for the reply. Yea I’m looking for any help, story’s from other users and how they got on with there life. Have gone down the doctor Rd and am having Physical therapy. But the physical pains only half of the problem now. Will have a look at turningpoint now. Thx.

Ok, @BringbackMat Really hope you can connect with other community members around that, as they are so supportive here on the forums.

I just thought i'd also offer this discussion thread that was created at one of our previous live events called Topic Tuesdays. It was specifically on Breaking the Cycle with alcohol & drug addiction.

It may have some good references, resources and members that could provide more info & support for you. It is archived so you can't add to the discussion but they usually explore some great conversations & topics.

Also just a tip in terms of posting - if you want to 'tag' a member to let them know you are replying to them, you just type the @ symbol & use drop down to add the member's name.

All the best!
