I didn't mean to give an impression of a junkie for gods sake. I believe that most people have a method of escape from reality, it could be cocaine, pot, alcohol, to name a few. I don't do any of those things. Nor do I go to the ER or see doctors faking symptoms to "get high" What I do is to take a couple of hubbys pills now and again (which are prescribed to him) I said recreational because I DO NOT take them as if a Dr. gave them to me, and some of the times when I do take them, I am not in any pain. I do not have any dependence on them. I feel that taking narcs sometimes for pleasure is no worse thhan people drinking wine or beer at the end of their day. But due to the fact that I am used to the meds, I believe that they don't work as well on me as they would on someone who isn't used to them. The same theory is for alcohol, someone who never had a drink will be affected more than a person who has wine with their dinner frequently. No hard feelings though I can understand your point and I did'nt elaborate enough on my perspective
