however annoying and judgemental yall are being, i realise yur concerns are just that: concern.. and i do appreciate being cared about.
You had menicus surgery not knee replacement. Quite sure they gave you a choice of vicodin or 800mg of ibuprofin a couple of times a day IF the pain is unbearable and it usually isn't unless you're elderly. If you knew you were an admitted drug addict and didn't tell the Dr ahead of time it usually means you wanted the drug anyway otherwise he would have just prescribed the ibuprofin. Also, they probably let YOU decide whether you wanted to walk out of the hospital or use the crutches. The "I don't do other drugs that often" just means "that often" usually means at least once a week. The excuses are a cop out of an addict. Sorry.
your whole post is based on me choosing to have the vicodin prescribed. truth is, i didnt know what meds the doc gave me till after i picked them up, and i had to google search to find out what the pain meds were. i didnt know that "hydroco-apap" was extra strength vicodin. i had never heard "hydrocodone" before. so... yeah.
You know how many times I have heard the "I don't do drugs that often" or the "you guys are so uptight", and then it leads to "I'm not a bad person", and then the "he doesn't need it", in refernce to pawning off their father's drill set or their mother's antique sterling silver set.
Being able to handle a addictive personality...read that again. Two, three times. Seek a therapist, find out the reasons why you find various pathways to addiction. Because if you don't, you will lose all that is around you. Your girl, your family, school, bbing. You've been warned. I've seen people far smarter than you drop from a similar path. We are talking research scientists here.
dude, ive been to rehab. been to narcotics anonymous, and alcoholic anonymous meetings. ive heard about how its a disease, and how nobody with "the disease" cant partake in drugs/alcohol in moderation like normal people can. i used to feel the same way, particularly while i was in rehab and just after. but guess what. there is no disease. its a choice. can i handle my addictive personality? absolutely.
From what I remember you resorted to theft in previous years and had to go to rehab? So I don't think ''never let it get out of control'' applies to you anymore. When dealing with drugs of any sort it's hard to see it being a problem until you get in trouble over it or have some up front issues. And as far as "strong willed person being able to handle an addictive personality, and keep drug use high but never let it get out of control." LOL you're asking for problems thinking you're so much better than the drugs (not an abstract) addictive properties. One part of drug use is respecting what it can do to you. You've felt the effects of abuse yet you still do it. You're fitting the bill of an addict. (Not saying that's a bad thing, just an observation)
respecting drugs? i appreciate them. respect them? uhhh.. no
