You have my sympathy. Drug addiction for a "high" and drug addiction for pain are entirely two different animals. My addiction is ibuprofin at the moment and has been for a number of years. Like a daily multi=vitamin............
How long before it morphs into requiring prescription drugs, I have no idea but there is no way in heck I could ever condemn someone addicted to painkillers due to their physical condition..........
I'm not even going to get into the sanctified individuals around here who will ultimately show up and classify those who are addicted to pain killers with the common street drug addict...........
