[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 688165, member: 20267"] Yes, I have yet to meet an addict that started out with the intention of becoming a junkie. If one exists, his issues run MUCH deeper than mine, or anybody else I have ever known. I mean, that's basically psychological masochism, or something. It isn't always about ignorance, though. I am not a stupid person. I NEVER put anything into my system that I didn't research well beforehand. When I first started using pills, I had read up on them. I became more knowledgeable than most pharmacists I have spoken to. And, with addiction running so deep in my family, I knew what that was. I knew how physical dependency occurred with opiates, and I knew the symptoms of withdrawal before I ever took a pill. Yet, I was still surprised when it finally hit me that I was addicted. The words I read simply didn't do it justice. It is something one must experience to truly grasp. Before that, it is all just words. I can pinpoint the very first physical withdrawal symptom I ever felt. Restless legs. Horrible, uncomfortable thing. Basically, you always feel the need to move your legs. But ONLY when you try to rest. The moment you sit or lay down, you have to move them. It is unbearable, and is what prevents sleep. It doesn't matter how tired your legs are. I would try to work out my legs until they felt like jello. Til it hurt to stand up. And the moment I laid down, it was there. All I did was make it much more painful. One night, I spent 8 hours walking in circles around my block. Without stopping once. I really wish I would have wised up the first time I experienced that, but I didn't... Just got more pills to "fix" the problem. I am not stupid, or insane. But my drug addiction made me do stupid, insane :censored2:. One need not use every day to be addicted. Most do, though. I had to take drugs just to feel human. I sincerely hope your son never falls into this pit. As I can see, he has plenty of issues without adding drug addiction to the mix. Then again, so did I. And STILL added drug addiction to the mix.... [/QUOTE]
