• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am an alcoholic in recovery. I am asking for prayer from people in recovery. I had a problem with Percocet, which was legitimately prescribed for herniated discs. So, I found a Suboxone psychiatrist, covered by my insurance, and have been on that for six weeks. He told me I can take Ultram, while on Suboxone. I am extremely tempted to go off it, and ask the surgeon for Percocet again, because of the pain. The Ultram is barely taking the edge off it. Please pray for me to be strong and not give into the temptation to go back on a drug I know I already have a problem with.

Thanks,
Trish

My surgery was in October, and the psychiatrist told me flat out I could not go back on any opiates while on the Suboxone.

Trish, I am praying for you. I am praying for your pain to lessen. Every prayer counts. I am just one person, but I prayed for you, and I talk to Jesus. You keep praying too. He hears you. It is hard to be patient I know, especially with pain. If there is one thing that Jesus understands, it is pain. He went through the worst. I had a kidney stone once, and had to talk to Jesus about it when I wasn't really a strong Christian. He helped anyway. Talk to Him when you are feeling tempted to take that drug. It's just like you did with alcohol...it's just a temptation. You know that even when it seems like you can't do it, He gives you a way out of temptation. That's in the Bible. Great job with the alcohol!!! WOW! I'm proud of you. I've been free for 10 years now from alcohol, and it only gets easier, believe me. Stay strong. :prayer::prayer::prayer::prayer::prayer::prayer:
