Relationship After Drug/alcohol Abuse?
Question by hopelesslydevoted: Relationship after drug/alcohol abuse?
[rewrite]My boyfriend of almost 2 years began showing signs of a drinking problem about 6 months ago. He was arrested while drunk for disorderly conduct. After that, he stopped drinking so much, but began again during a visit with his family. He then really kicked his butt out of drinking. However, I recently found out that he traded his alcohol addiction for a meth addiction. He is now in jail after failing a drug test at a hospital b/c he was having feelings of paranoia and anxiety and thought it was a psychological problem–it’s not, it was part of his drug abuse. I’d love some advice on how to move on with my life. We had plans to get married, and I’m just crushed to know of all the lies and deceit that took over this relationship. I still care for him and want to help him but know I NEED to move on with my life without him. Any advice or suggestions of where to seek advice would be much appreciated.

What Should I Expect at My 1st Visit With a Pain Management Specialist?
Question by Queen V: What should I expect at my 1st visit with a pain management specialist?
[rewrite]I have my 1st appt with a pain management dr. this afternoon, and I’m a little nervous. I have chronic back pain and pain from endometriosis. I’ve been in pain for so long and have so many symptoms. I don’t know how to word everything and not leave anything out. I’ve been given the runaround so many times by other docs, I’m afraid I won’t be taken seriously. I’m in so much pain and haven’t been able to sleep because I can’t get comfortable. I feel desperate at this point. I don’t want to look like a druggie but I’m really hoping they can give me something to lessen my pain so I can get some sleep.
