• 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

The past few days I've been in pain from kidney stones. The doctor gave me vicoden for the pain and I've had problems with opiate addiction in the past. I gave the bottle to my mom for safe keeping and she only gives me the amount that I should take at a time. I've been fairly good at not taking it all the times I could be too. It's still scary though and would like to ask for the prayers of anyone who would be willing to pray for me.

In regards to your situation i can fully relate! I also fought addiction for years and i also get kidney stones every 3 years and they are horrible. I will definitely pray for you! Stay strong and you are doing the right thing by not being in charge of your medication.



I just joined this site and i am looking for guidance if you could give some. I fought addiction for years with almost all drugs, i have now started a christian recovery center in Washington state and i want to talk to people and try to help them for free and if they are interested i would tell them about my recovery center as well. Is there a better forum or way to do this?

Thanks

Thanks for the prayers everyone. I made it through it and got rid of left over vicodens so I wasn't tempted to take them. I still have two kidney stones left though and I'm not particulrarly eager to have them start hurting once again. It could be a long time before they bother me though.
