The problem trapp is that we are addicts. That means that we are prone to addiction. It is very common for us to trade one addiction for another. When I didn't have my doc which were painkillers I used and abused benzos or alchohol. Unless you want to come up with a dirty urine and spend more time with your po officer, stay FAR AWAY from those pills. I am in a program also, rules state no mind altering substances allowed. I am lucky to get 4 or 5 hours of sleep per night. If I obsess over sleep, I will get only 2. Anyway, sorry this isn't very helpful, but I thought I should at least respond and let you know I understand how you feel.
