Hi I love this thread. As I'm sober 14 years, and have never needed surgery. The pain pump scares me. I have needed pain pills in the past and with my sponsors help I stop, pray, meditate and think think think. And when the pain is bad I call her and she knows when I take a pill... It sounds extreme to people but I have a beautiful life and have seen too many people with longevity go out with pain medication. I think for me the biggest deal was not letting it be a sick secret..

Hi I'm 14 years sober and find that using my working knowledge of the 13 steps and traditions help me in all aspects of life. I also tried OA and was resistance to the difference on how they run there program. Where's all the sober peps from. I'm just out of Sacramento Ca. And am Pre Op surgery is on the 29th of this month. Oh and I keep falling off the pre op diet.

Ugg I blew my pre op diet hard tonight. I own a pet salon and didn't stop to drink a protein shake while spending hrs fighting a 180lb Newfoundland who just wanted to play and not be groomed. I was shaking and a little delusional when I dropped him off at home and I ate a whopper. And onion rings.. I was groaning and moaning on how tasty it was ( week 3 off bread and sugar) now it's 3 am I'm sick as a Newfoundland ! Wishing I would of just ran into the quickly mart for a protein drink!,, btw also getting sleeved the 29th.
