You must work with trustworthy people. I wouldn’t keep anything like that at work, unless its locked. But congratulations on using the painkillers responsibly. I’m the same way. When I get them for a tooth extraction or something, I tell them to give me just a few. If they want to give me a dozen, I tell them just 6 or 8.
Somebody earlier mentioned Rush Limbaugh. His story is pretty typical—it starts out with something like a back injury or surgery. For me it was a wake up call—if it can happen to him it can happen to anybody. It made me more vigilant.
I work for a financial institution. Everyone is required to lock their desk every night before they go home.
I’m getting more inclined to what to keep a supply on hand. Pretty soon it may get to be a 3 week wait to see a dentist. You just have to understand that when it starts taking more get the same relief, you’re building up a tolerance and it’s time to do something else.
