We're talking post-addiction opiate use?

The other side of that coin is an estranged friend who started using opiates for pain after having struggled with addiction most of his life and having kicked it.

He fell back into the addiction hard, has lost his family and is estranged from everyone in his life, including adult kids.

That was a choice. I have been on and off pain management 5 times since 2003. I have never taken more than prescribed, and weaned off when it was time of my own accord....I did not take them to get high, when you start taking handfuls you're just chasing the dragon...I did not take them for that so I did not...I don't let anything control me anymore.

If you are weak and can't handle it, or miss the high (which you do NOT get taking as prescribed) then you definitely should never take them.

It's my belief that if you are that weak and tempted...you are going to fall to something sooner or later if you don't build up some want to.

Very glad to hear she wasn't hurt. I passed a slow vehicle on a two lane highway a few months back. As I was beside them passing I realized that the truck that had been behind me decided to pass me as I was passing the the slow vehicle. The guy in the truck was mostly off the road until he shot in front of me and the other car at an angle to avoid a tree and nearly took out my front driver's side.

I couldn't believe he was stupid enough to do that and then he acted like he wanted to fight me and kept brake checking me on down the highway because I honked at him. I dropped my sport edition in SR gear that allows more gas to the engine and left him and his POS in my rear view. I'm a grown man and don't have the inclination to play games with some young redneck that was probably drunk....no good could have come of it. Glad I'm more patient as I've gotten older.....lots of psychotic idiots out there and especially here in FL.

Don't live in Atlanta. Their drivers test is significantly worse than FL and it shows.

OK.

My post was not to you, nor about you. But it did offer another perspective than "I've managed it so you can too!" I've seen so many lives derailed by people who'd kicked opiate addiction, only to start taking opiates for legitimate pain. It's a huge, complicated thing.

But again... My post wasn't about you. There's no need to try to make it about you.

Congratulations on your success. I pray for a healing and a pain free life that you'd never need pain management.
