Wow!
Little did I know that mentioning the use of pot would spur such interesting responses. I'm amazed that they were so equally divided too. I wanted to make sure you all knew that this was just a suggestion by my doc for a possible alternative in the future, and I am not using it now.
Out of all the drugs I used in my younger (much) days, and I tried almost all of them, I liked pot the most. I haven't used it in almost 15 years, but I still think about it from time to time. I remember feeling relaxed and calm when I smoked it, something that is sadly lacking in my life now. I have no clue how I would react to it today, I'm definitely not the same person I was then. I haven't always been the angel that I am today... I was a wild child with an attitude and didn't think that anything could ever harm me. I've grown up a lot since then. I just don't know what to do with what I've been feeling lately and quite honestly, I'm getting a little desperate for answers. I should be starting therapy next week, and while that "can of worms" still scares the bejesus out of me, I'm trying to remain optomistic. I can assure you this, whatever doc and I decide to do it will be well thought out and closely supervised. I have way too much to lose and I'm way too old to chance losing it.
Thanks to everyone for your great feedback! I will think them all over and read them at least another dozen times each before making a decision. It's nice to have people who care.
