    Relapse Advice - Heroin

    I guess I have a different answer than what you're requesting. First of all you can't quit on your own, and that's why you keep relapsing and second, you are playing with fire. On the outside, it may look like you have it together but you don't on the inside and that's what counts. If you are...

    Is this a problem?

    Hi and welcome, As someone else already stated, if you think you might have a drinking problem, then you most likely do. I believe that alcoholism is a disease that tells us we don't have disease. Denial is a symptom of that disease. A friend of mine didn't start drinking until he was 26...

    Taper of low dose valium - help?

It is for xanax to valium and then taper, but also explains how to taper off of valium completely. the main thing is to not hurry. I was on...

    Can you not get a job due to prescribed narcotic meds

    I am oxycodone and nothing was said about it before or after my urine test. I don't think they can even question you about your meRAB because that would be descrimination. they are just testing for illegal drugs like pot, cocaine, meth etc. No one ever mentioned oxycodone being on my drug test.
