Well, they put me on lamictal, wellbutrin, and, if needed, seroquel. In fighting these addictions, has anyone thought "Screw it, I just want my oxys/vics/whatever back" They were illegal, but I felt good on them and it's just not worth all this? I know that's the addict talking, but today it is how I feel.

Mental health and addictions are two worlds apart. They never have been the same issue no matter how much people tell you that. Always take care of your mental health.

You ask has anyone thought Screw it? Well, the most natural thing for us addicts and alcoholics to do is to drink and use. It is unnatural for us to be clean and sober. So we all think that at one time or another, the battle cry of the alcoholic....."Screw it" and then we can either trudge forward or turn and run. Those that turn and run sometimes make it back, sometimes not.

By going to meetings, reading both Big Books, talking to a sponsor, working the steps. I put out insurance on me not thinking that thought. I build an invisible force field around me to help me when I cannot help myself.
