I've had chronic back pain since I was 31. When the doctor 1st diagnosed it he put me on Rx pain pills. Now it's 21 yr's later and I'm still taking the Rx pain pills...(not the same, stronger.) 1st, I've been praying for God to take away all my addictions...(I smoke cigarettes too), I've even thought about calling Dr. Phil or that intervention program, but I know that the power of prayer is best, so please pray that God would take these addictions from me. 2nd, My husband passed away on Nov. 19th, 2003. He had gotten hurt on the job, and eventually his doctors put him on a VERY strong pain pill, Oxycontin. After taking it for 2 yrs, he passed away from an accidental overdose. The reason I tell you this is that more than 2 years ago my only daughter Amanda, cut me out of her life mainly because I still take the pain pills. I wasn't invited to her wedding on 11/11/11, and I'm almost sure that I won't get to see my granddaughter...she is expecting a baby girl sometime in December. (The only way I know these things is that my son tells me.) Pleas pray about all that I've written. Thank you, and May God bless!!!
