Default Program alleviates pain

I don’t know what type of pain you are having, but one of the reasons I drank was to alleviate pain. My Dr told me I had arthritis and there was nothing much that could be done for it. It got to the point where I could not lift my arms above my shoulders and I could not climb stairs. I fell on the dock stepping up out of my boat, so I stopped taking it out. The pain of walking caused me to limp terribly. I couldn’t lift myself out of a tub, so I couldn’t take hot baths anymore to relax and sooth the pain. I was pretty much a mess, and the only time I didn’t hurt so bad was when I was drinking or heavily medicated. I was getting to the point where I thought I was going to have to get a three wheel motorcycle so I could hold it up.

By the time I found MWO, I was drinking an enormous amount of alcohol every day and the pain was not going away until I passed out. Then it seemed even worse in the morning so I would take large doses of pain medication. My knees would give off heat like little furnaces, and swell up. I decided I had to do something, so working through the program I was able to quit drinking, and amazingly, my joint pain disappeared when I quit poisoning myself with alcohol. It wasn’t immediate, but it has now almost completely gone away.

I don’t know your circumstances; your pain may be much more severe. I wish for you this could work out as well as it has for me.

Good luck and God Bless
