How Addiction Happens

Question by dah19782003: i am in recovery, for drink and drugs, i havent used for 184 days…however…..?
as ive stated above,i havent used drink or drugs to get high over the last 184 days. when i started rehab a few months ago, i had to stop using zopiclone sleeping tablets,as they were ‘mind and mood altering’,and that they would show up on and urine test as positive,and therefore conflict with my results. i stopped using them.
my sleeping pattern has got alot better over the last few months, however i still have 1 or 2 nights where im unable to sleep and find it difficult and stressful to switch off. because i couldnt take zopiclone, i was given zolpidem sleeping tablets,which were alot weaker than zopiclone. over the last few months, i have probably taken 4 or 5 of these,only when ive desperately needed to get to sleep. someone said to me yesterday that im only as clean as when i last took a zolphidem sleeping tablet, while others say thats not the case,and that im still 184 days clean, because i took them for a valid reason of not being able to sleep, rather than to use and abuse them, to change how im feeling or otherwise. what do others think of this please, and my clean time, as its bugging me.    Read more...
