I did not mean to offend anyone when I said "one of those rehabs for
drug and alcohol abusers" but I do not feel as though I belong there. I
am not addicted. I am dependent. Addicted is very different. This is
when you constantly need more whether your pain has increased or not and
when you go to different doctors do get more pills and start to lie to
yourself and others. I am just physically dependent and I proved it by
going down to one pain pill last summer. I take just enough to cover my
pain and that is it. I have no regrets about it and actually, the
opiates have given me a life which I would have not had. Have a great
day.
