Today I was sooo filled with pain everywhere, fibro was terrible!!  Even still, I never had one thought of taking a drink for the pain.  I used to drink all the time to get pain relief (and for other reasons), but it was always a "good" excuse.  Now, other methods dominate my thoughts when I'm having a "flare" of pain.

 

Thought I should write this down, so not to let it just pass by.

    I have to be careful as I "hate" taking the medication the doctor has prescribed, and I know that I used to take "a drink" to "kill" pain, that little voice in my head has been telling me that if I just had one, the pain would go away for at least a little while.

    The pain is a constant battle, and the medication works "somewhat". I wish it would stop.

    I also feel like I'm no fun anymore....and that my husband looks at me that way. I know he misses his "party girl."

    So many mixed feelings tonight,....but I know they're not permanent. I would rather die than take another drink. I just wanted to write down some of the thoughts I've had running around in my head.
