[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 477407, member: 11791"] Janet... First, you are obviously [I]not an addict[/I]. If you were, these statements would not be true! The addicts and alcoholics I've known (close family) all have one pattern of reaction to this stuff, and the rest of us (related by blood) have a different reaction. I am convinced that there is a body-chemistry issue involved. Not that they are necessarily born that way, although there can be that component as well - but rather, abusing drugs modifies body chemistry, permanently. At which point, using properly isn't even an option any more. These were all "recovered" addicts, not active. They knew their limits. They all refused any related medications... just could not take the risk. The only one who actually fought for and got narcotics, was in palliative care... because at that point, it didn't matter any more, pain control was the only thing that mattered. I'm TRYING to help our teens understand this. We have a tendency to addictions in our family. If we do not abuse, it seems like we can still benefit from the full range of medications. We tend to need medications... so, don't mess up your whole future by doing street drugs. [/QUOTE]
