The problem is there's an "invisible line" that we cross into addiction. We never know WHEN we cross that line. But when we do, it's a matter of NEEDING them, not wanting them. Then we start to CRAVE them -- it becomes an absolute incessant need that controls our mind, body and spirit. We CANNOT go without them, and we'll do just about ANYTHING to get them even if it means going into the wrong part of town to get them. I've been there and done that.
I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict. It's not a pretty picture, and withdrawal from these meds is HORRIBLE.

So be very careful - and I mean VERY careful. You don't want to cross that invisible line, believe me. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
