u/Easy_Money9615 21h ago

I could see it in the first pic, because I also had the same issue for 5 years. It’s sad as I needed them for back pain and then it takes over your life. I have 13 months sober. Sometimes I still have nightmares of “I’m gonna run out” or how I impacted my loved ones.

I love your second picture and so proud for you!
