I Struggle With Addiction

After my back injury about 7 years ago, I was prescribed a lot of pain medication. It all went downhill from there. I began relying on it to avoid stress and anxiety. I was good for a while, then my wife was diagnosed with cancer last year. The drug problem has started again. Without hydrocodone or oxycodone, everything seems overwhelming. I try to escape it, but I'm only making the situation worse. I was prescribed Ativan for my anxiety, but it didn't really seem to help. The anxiety attacks keep coming. It's a mess.
