Triggering (Substance Abuse) - Help...

[The War Doctor]

I used to take an overdose of paracetamol every time I was extremely anxious or angry or depressed... then after a while it was every time I was a bit annoyed... and then it was 3 or 4 times a week no matter what mood I was in.

I haven't taken painkillers in a little over a month, but I'm so stressed out right now... we moved in with my mother's boyfriend and his family, and now there are so many people in the house.. I never get any peace or quiet, and I rarely get privacy, and I feel like if I don't have a handful of pills in the next 30 seconds I'll snap... I don't want to go back to that... I know being a month pill-free isn't much of an achievement but I'm proud of it and I don't want to mess up, but I feel like I have no choice...

Conor sweetheart being a month pill free is a wonderful achievement. i know where you're coming from because i used to be the same if not worse. its hard, especially when you crave the pills but you can get through it. just one step at a time. so you take a step backwards once in a while, it doesnt matter. you can get through this *cuddles*
love you

Being pill free is an awesome achievement!
Just take things one bit at a time. You can do it. You don't have to hurt yourself because those people are driving you nuts. You are worth taking care of yourself.

I'm sorry I have no advice, but just wanted to say going a month 'pill-free' is something to be really proud of. I hope you found / find another way to cope with what is going on.
