Thanks, John. I honestly was not trying to blame my addiction on anyone else. I know it is mine and I am taking responsibility. I could never blame her for it, she has nothing to do with it. As for the amount, my dentist usually gives me tylenol 3 and he gives me 15 pills, the amount for 5 days. The last two times he gave me the medicine, I did only take them when I needed them and they lasted me about 7 days both times. I have really been trying to stop and I'm slowly taking steps to stop.
