Unfortunately, my doc started giving my the hairy eyeball after a few months of regular use and I stopped asking for it. Probably for the better, anyways - I can see how that junk can be addictive. Anyhoo...
As someone who had a moderate addiction to strong opiods, I can tell you that your doctor did you a favor. It's quite common that someone who starts out using them legitimately gets severely addicted.
Yeah, I'm sure that you're right. I saw that when I spent some time in a mental health facility (most of the patients were dual-diagnosis, mental illness and drug abuse, I was the only person in the ward not there for drug treatment). Quite a few opiate addicts, all of them started with a legitimate need for prescription meds. This was after my doc cut me off.
The thing of it is - yeah, I'm not addicted, and I'm grateful for that. I still have the pain though, and it's likely to be for the rest of my life. Which I worse? I don't know.
