I don't take pain meds. Just had surgery and 14 stitches in my back. Doc asked me if I was familiar with Lortabs? And would I like a script? I laughed. The addict in me had my eyes big as saucers but the new me said, oh yeah you bet, I know all about Lortab, but I'm a recovering drug addict and I don't think that'd be such a good idea. She and I laughed together. She said they had more problems with the addicts on prescriptions drugs than street drugs. It's so much more easy to rationalize addiction if a doctor prescribes it. Ha Ha. What a crock. This whole countries screwed up on pain meds...pain clininc in every shopping center. So my stitches hurt. Big deal. I take a fricking tylenol.
