I am starting this recovery journal, because I wanted to share with you my experiences. I have been in recovery for one week. If you don't know about it, I was and still am addicted to sleeping pills (barbiturates) and pain pills (opiates). This is my first message, and I am still a little shaky, but I feel it is important that I share this with you, because an addiction to prescribed pain pills can happen to anyone, and you have to be careful. Please if you are on any kind of medication, ask your doctor to explain the side effects and the possible addictive qualities of the drug. I will talk to you soon.

I send my biggest love,
Melanie
