Opio - you did a lot more than non-addicts have done. I was also a functioning addict for years - to the point... no one really knew. However, I lied, stole, acted badly, cheated... and I'm ashamed of certain actions I did. I cannot say it was or was not the drugs but I would Luke to believe I wouldn't have done most of those things... if I didn't put myself into slavery.. drug addiction. I initially quit coke and alcohol when I got pregnant. Relapsed when my daughter was 1 and also picked up a Vicodin habit. I quit the coke and alcohol... but the Vicodin habit lasted for years until one day I was taking oxide and pulled the plug. I services with suboxine for 1 week and never looked back. I have 4+ years.
Evil may have been too harsh a word but in my own personal experience me and my husband's addiction has been torture. I'm hoping my husband's sticks it out....
