welcome to SR
My name is Trish and I am an addict . I was also addicted to pain meds and also experienced the euphoria , the only thing the Doctor didnt tell me was that I would haveto use more and more to get the same effect and eventually the euphoria was a fleeting memory , getting , using and recovering from using became a full time job for me and after a time I started to use street drugs to supplement .It was like a nightmare . I usto think " It wont happen to me " " This time I will take them as prescribed " All denial , my disease of denial ..I hope you read around and see what can happen if you keep using . as you read believe ... Trish
