I had this happen recently. I thought to myself a few days ago “those opiates made my mood so good.” But that addiction is the last thing I need on top of my benzos

I take after my old man who was a recovered alcoholic and had an addiction to pain pills. He’d take my grandmas from her apartment when she was in rehab and he’d also have my mom sneak in pain pills for him in a sock when he was in the hospital for stuff. My mom and sister quit smoking cold turkey though.

I did use muscle relaxers for anxiety and sleep until I ran out of them and my doctor wouldn’t refill it.
