I'm done with partying, clubbing, drinking, getting high, all that. And just to point out how young I was when this happened, it happened before I got pregnant with my son at age 17. (way before...I was off drugs for about 4 months when I got pregnant)


My son was born whn I was 16... Started way to young.. My rock bottem was with the bottle and still a struggle to this day...


At least I'm not the only one. I still have the urge daily, after 10 years. I have heard it never goes away. Still think of how it was EASIER then...didn't worry about anything. But I couldn't do that to my kids. NEVER.


Congrats to Melmo, Kenerg and anyone else who fought an addiction (of any kind) and are still holding their own against it. Applause Applause Applause Applause It's not the easiest thing in the world to do and it is a daily battle and sometimes feels like it's more minute to minute to stay away. There is always someone around who will listen and help in any way they can if you feel you are slipping. Sometimes it seems easier to talk to a relative stranger than to someone who knows you. 3 years with a shrink and I don't think he knows my middle name, but a couple of my online friends know where just about all my skeletons are buried Embarassed Anxious Embarassed Bad Grin Bad Grin

Again..............CONGRATS ya'll, keep your chin up.


I tried going to a shrink. Especially after my son was almost killed in a car accident. But it just didn't help. I felt like I had to fight my own demons and guilt.
Thank you for the support. It's been a long long long journey the last 10 years. It still seems too good to be true now!

Ok.. well since I don't have any addictions (other than ThingFling) I'll try and get this back on topic...

Aside from the busting through walls and spending way too much time online in forums and playing Runescape.. In my spare time I'm a doctor.

RIght now I'm an internal medicine resident (basically a general hospitalist for in-patients) I round on the floors and do some clininc, specialty, and ICU time. Next year I start my Radiology residency.

I haven't been a doctor for very long so I'm still getting used to it.

So how long have you been a doctor? love the picture!

And if you ever come across a post with me cussing out doctors...don't take it personally. I've seen more doctors then I want to since my son was hurt in a car accident and I can't stand most of them. Just so you know...it's not you. I know there are a very select few good doctors out there!

I've only been a doctor (officially) for about a month, but I've been treating patients and managing their care for a while now. The main difference now is that I have a DEA number (I can prescribe drugs).

As far as there being a very select few good doctors..

It really seems to me to be more about what kind of doctor you're talking about. Your son being in a car accident, you probably dealt mostly with ER doctors and surgeons. In general those are the two fields that have the most @$$holes. But like you said there are a select few AWESOME surgeons and ER docs, but most are not the best when it comes to communication and bedside manor.

Having said all that, if you look at family practice doctors, pediatricians, OB/GYN doctors, most of them are really cool people and really care about their patients and it shows.

The worst part of all that is that people have to deal with the not-as-nice doctors in the most stressful situations. So you're already upset and the worst thing in a situation like that is having the person taking care of your loved one to seem like they don't care, and not tell you what's going on. I've seen this a lot as a medical student and spent a lot of time following after surgeons and ER docs, staying with patients and families to explain things and answer questions.

So I totally understand where you're coming from, and I'm sorry you had such a crappy experience. How's your son?
