Evie, of course pain and painpills do not have to equal drunk... but I'm not sure what you are talking about here. Are you saying that you take pain pills to such an extent that you seem drunk? Or are you afraid that taking pain pills will make you "drunk"?
Sorry, I'm not sure what is going on here. But one thing is certain, it does not matter what "they" think. You must do what you have to in order to get well. Nothing else matters. Not what they think, not anything.
You are going to get through this. Just let us know what we can do to help.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Evie!
Pain and pain pills do not equal drunk. Are you having something done tomorrow? A procedure? I see now.xxxxx
Most medical people care and do not judge, be honest with them so they can help you the best they can tomorrow. Try not to be embarrassed and try your best to explain what you have been going through and how WELL you have been doing.
If you are worried that you will be prescribed a narcotic for pain and that it will get you into trouble, discuss this with a physician. There are alternatives to narcotics.
And remember, Evie, that medical people are human too. We have our problems as well, LOL, they might understand more than you think.
Just try to be honest and open. As best you can love. so they can help you.
It will ALL be OK, really it will.

Evie -- I remember that you responded when I drank after taking Darvocet ... I made a mistake and regret it... I am now AF again... the pain pills can make you vulnerable... know that...prepare... don't take enough money with you, take a friend -- tell a friend... you can do this. I was so made at myself after my slip!!! It was a waste of time...
You are strong -- you survived your brothers visit -- this is nothing!TinyComment

Evie, I can relate to everything you have said. I think a huge part of my quitting drinking this time
was that I quit taking the pain medications about a week before. I feel like the meds
lowered my resolve. That being said I think you will find that you are stronger having done
some serious booty kicking with AL since May 12, woo hoo!! Don't tell yourself you care
what they think, tell yourself that you care enough about your self to ensure they have the
information they need to give you the best care and appropriate meds. Please let
us know how you are after.
