It doesn't work like that. I didn't want to become an addict, then I shattered my knee playing sports. Couldn't live without pain meds, at first. Tens of thousands of $'s and an overdose later, I still can't stay clean for more than a month. You think I wanted this?
i dont think you wanted it, but you want it now, cause your in it.
i have an rx for opana ir 5mg thats completely full, and ive had it for 5 months, i wont touch the shit. however, i stopped the vicodin well over a month ago and despite wanting to have one a few times for fun i havent because i really have no intention on getting hooked
Right.. because all of the millions of people who became addicts were willing? Opiates are so addicting and ruin so many lives of all walks of life for a reason.. it's not about will.
in my humble opinion, it is about will. If you've been using for 3232309283 years and you say you're doing it to not get sick, well, with enough will power, you can decide "well, ill endure any pain to get over any habit"
being a victim doesnt work for me, anyone can literally do anything they want to as long as they put their mind to it and REALLY do it. Ive been told in my life numerous times that something was literally not possible, then guess what, i did it.
My pain, for example, no doctor could figure it out, everyone kept telling me "you'll be in pain for the rest of your life" then the pain doctors "you'll be in pain forever, we can just help you manage it." family doc, urologists (three of em), surgeons, you name it, all the same. Guess what? I got sick of the pain and decided to do my own research, came up with a plan, told the docs what to do, got surgery, month and a half later. NO PAIN. But, i was told that it was impossible to cure my pain and id have to deal with it for the rest of my life. The moment i got sick of hearing that and really did something about it, shit changes.
the moment you get sick of having an addiction control your life, the moment you decide that enduring the WD is worth it, and the future moments where you decide not to fall back into habit are your choice, your will, and your strength.
I understand addictions and dependency, ive had both, and ive kicked both.
