Personally, I smoke weed to compensate, but I wouldn't suggest that as it's just switching your psychological dependency from one thing to another. But it does a good job of keeping me from going back to pills.
I have zero guilt about any dependencies I may have. Weed is not an option for me because it's illegal where I live and I have young impressionable children who don't need to see their mom hauled off to jail. But it's been approved for medical purposes. I don't know if you can actually get it yet because it passed fairly recently. It could be an option one day but it's not the plan for now. We are going to get me meds free. (Pain meds only I can't quit my other meds.) and then we will start at low doses and work up until I'm ok. Cutting out the fentanyl permanently I hope. I fucking love that stuff for pain relief but it does a wonder on my ability to walk like a normal person. And driving is something I'm legally allowed to do but I'm annoyingly cautious because I don't want to fuck that up with kids in the car.
